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.

Chenna hot springs was amazing, ice museum was great too. The night was cloudy so the northern lights were alluding us. However after we left the hot springs and we were driving down we got a glimpse of it and it was absolutely beautiful. Susie was our guide and she was awesome, her knowledge of the area, dinner suggestions, friendliness and enthusiasm helped keep the morale up in the group while we were searching for the northern lights. Would absolutely recommend this tour as it’s probably the best shot you have to catch the lights even on a cloudy day.

I really enjoyed the ice museum and the Chena Hot Springs. The food at the restaurant was also really good. However, our tour guide, Jake, was not very personable or friendly. He barely talked the entire tour except when we asked him questions. The schedule/itinerary of the day was completely unclear and he didn't communicate with us anything about what we were doing. We were very confused. He did take us to multiple spots on the way home to see the Northern Lights, and did a good job spotting the very faint Aurora behind the clouds so we could see. Overall a decent activity in Fairbanks, but we paid for a tour and did not feel like we received a real tour.
