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.

Our guide, Renee was great and early to pick me up at the hotel. He was very accommodating and knowledgeable about the local area and the moose. We saw 5 moose on the way to the hot springs, he drove slower and stopped at every moose sighting so we could take pictures/videos. The other people on the tour were so nice as well.

- Arrived on time for the Ice museum tour: really cool sculptures, great experience, and had a martini at the ice bar in a ice glass. We were able to take it outside with us.
- Hot springs was amazing! I stayed in the outdoor one. It was said usually there's a lot of people there, but we lucked out and was pretty empty. I got to lay out on the rocks, it was very peaceful - careful though from the extreme change in temperatures of the hot spring and weather.
- Our guide kept an eye out and was tracking the Aurora the whole time, it was supposed to be very cloudy with low chances of showing, but we lucked out and it was gorgeous! There's also an indoor viewing room so you can stay there and recover from the cold.

Overall, great trip!

The food was nothing special, but the dog sled portion of the night was great. We only had a few good sightings of the NorthernLights due to the weather. A B or at most a B.
