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.

A great evening at Chena Hot Springs! We visited the reindeer on the property, went into the Ice Museum had an appletini- yum, dinner at the restaurant, and a dip in the hot springs. The water was hotter than I expected, so could only stay in for about 15 minutes. Our tour guide, Ricky, was great. He provided lots of information on the area and wildlife. It was a cloudy night so we were not able to see the aurora but Ricky made many stops along the way back just in case the lights were visible. Thank you for a great evening!

Ricky was our tour guide and he was the best!! He kept us entertained the whole ride up to Chena Hot Springs with great stories and interesting information. When we arrived he made sure to know where everyone in the group was going to be in case the Aurora showed up early. When the Aurora did finally show up, he drove us to the best viewing location (away from the crowds) and we could not have asked for a better experience! Would highly recommend this tour :)

I have a wonderful experience in this tour. My guider, David, is very kind and patient. He actively assisted me in setting up the camera so that I can take good photos of aurora. Although my English is not very good, David still tried to introduce with a simple vocabulary so that I would not fell boring.
