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.

My friends and I had a great time and would definitely recommend this to everyone! Not only was everything scheduled and we did not have to worry about driving down an icy road, but Tony our guide was amazing! Made sure everyone was accounted for, told great stories on the bus ride and even took us on a mini hike to hopefully try and see the northern lights (unfortunately we didn’t get to see any)! The hots springs and ice palace were amazing as well and the staff there was super accommodating even when we were a few minutes late to the ice palace tour!

What a magical experience! Laura was so engaging and knowledgeable. Her expertise as a photographer was indispensable to getting that perfect Aurora pic. She showed such determination! There were solid clouds all evening, yet she didn't give up. Laura studied the apps and found the perfect spot to capture our sky light pic. This after a lovely time at Chena: the breathtaking Ice Museum, a delicious meal, and the romantic hotsprings. Thanks for the magic, Laura!

Our guide (Laura) was great. The night didn't look promising but on our way back Laura came through for all of us on her tour
