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.

We really enjoyed our trip with Dave he was really knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole trip. Althought the cloud cover didn't let us see the Aurora we were extremely happy with the hot spring and ice museum.

Hello from North Pole, thank you so much for leaving us and Dave such an amazing review. We really appreciate it and are glad that you had a great time, even without Lady Aurora cooperating. Kind regards

If you have time during your stay in the Fairbanks area, don’t pass up Chena Hot Springs! It is really well done and someplace I’ll plan to visit another trip. There are several things to do outside of the hot springs, pool and ice museum, though don’t miss those! Our family would have liked more time. If you have a large family, you might compare the cost of a car rental and purchase your tickets at a much lower price for the things you want to do while there. It is about an hour and a half from Fairbanks but the road is good.

Hi from North Pole, thank you so much for leaving us such an amazing review. We really appreciate it and are glad that you had a great time. We apologize that you did not have time enough with your family at the Hot Springs. We have had people say the opposite and it is difficult to find a great amount of time for everyone. We are still glad that you enjoyed your day with us and we are sending greetings from Alaska, Sylvia

We were picked up at he right time and headed to Cheno Hot springs. Our guide, Lynley, ws excellent and explained everything in detail throughout the tour. Very patient guide , who gave a lot of hints and helped to get at the right spot everywhere. Seh booked the restaurant ahead of time and then guided into the ice museum to get the best experience. She then called us out of the restaurant early as the aurora wa beginning early. we had good pictures of the aurora. We then left and stopped at a couple of places to get more pictures.She was eager to accommodate our needs. I would recommend this guide definitely , if you are headed there.
