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.

Laura was a great guide. She drove us to Chena safely and made our night showing us around the hot springs and bringing us to lights.

I cannot say enough good things about this tour! Our tour guide was Laura (I hope that’s how you spell it) and she was so knowledgeable, kind, and funny! She got us all of us safely from place to place and wherever we needed to go. The hot springs were AMAZING!!! My husband and I stayed in for a long time just soaking in the waters. Earlier in the day it was really foggy but Laura got us to where we could see the auroras and get good pictures! They weren’t super active that night but we still were able to get amazing pictures with her expertise! All in all this was such an amazing tour to take on our honeymoon vacation! Thank you so much!
