What To Expect

Chena Hot Springs Resort

After wandering through the cool museum, don your bathing suit and enjoy the resort’s legendary namesake. The revitalizing mineral water soothes muscles with its warm temperatures of 106 degrees F (41 degrees C) year-round. You can also soak under the stars in an outdoor hot tub, or indoors in the heated pool. In between, slip away to the Aurora Café or the historic Resort Restaurant, where you can purchase meals, snacks, or beverages. When ready, join your expert guide for a small-group outing to view the Aurora Borealis. Your guide will lead you through one of the best places on earth to witness the green and purple illuminations loop across the night sky. Wait and witness the celestial wonder with hot beverages in the late evening, when viewing opportunities are the highest. The lights are also visible inside the cafe's Aurora Room, which serves as a comfortable and warm location for viewings. Note: We can never guarantee the Northern lights sighting.

I went on a solo adventure to Fairbanks with one goal...to see the Northern lights. And being that Mother Nature could be fickle, I booked myself 2 tours (this and the Chena Hot Springs/Northern Lights Tour) with the same company so that I could enjoy other things in Alaska in case the lights didn’t cooperate. Bob was my tour guide for both tours and he made sure everyone was safe and had a good time. He himself had such a nice, welcoming temperament along with skillful driving! I saw so much beauty of Alaska during the day (Alaska Pipeline, Yukon River, Arctic Circle, breathtaking landscape) and Bob made sure we chased the lights at night for maximum visibility. This road trip is long but oh so worth it to have the full experience.

Hello from North Pole, We are so glad you enjoyed your tour and guide Bob. It is never a guarantee to see the Northern Lights but when you do it is absolutely breath taking. We hope that you visit with us again in the future. Best regards, Amber

Our tour guide Brooke was fantastic and most informative. We stayed out until she found the lights and had a great time.

They reached out to me to schedule a pickup which made things easier. Our tour guide was Joe and he was great! He was able to give us a point of view from a more self sufficient Alaskan. We didn't get to see the lights because it was cloudy but the Ice museum was way cooler than I thought it would be. The hot springs were wonderful too. It was a neat outing and having a guide made it much more informative. I like solo trips but it was nice having a local to suggest other things to do and see.

Dear Jessica, we are sorry that you did not have a 100% great experience with us. We are still glad that you enjoyed your trip with Joe and are sad that you did not see the Northern Lights. Warm regards, your AWG team.
