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.

There is so much I can say about this tour, however I would be writing for days. I would first like to acknowledge my Tour Guide Jake, who is spectacular. He has a kind and gentle spirit with amazingly positive energy. He went above and beyond this trip was Perfection!! I would never drive to Chena Hot Springs because of the beyond icy rode conditions yet Jake made it look like a cake walk. He was super careful and I felt very very safe with him at the wheel. When we got to Chena instructions were given, and we had more than enough time to enjoy the ice museum and the Pools. We had dinner reservations at the resort restaurant and we did not have to wait. I was seated promptly. The food and service was GREAT!!! Now, let me get to the Northern Lights, Jake made sure that we would see it. He knew the best places to stop. He is an expert and dedicated to his job and his clients. He fixed my phone to ensure I was able to capture the lights and the Lights danced in the sky that night and I have some spectacular pictures to prove it. I am forever grateful and will always remember the kindness of Jake and I cannot thank him enough for being one of the best Tour guides I have experienced.

We are sorry that you had a bad experience on your tour. While we utilize Chena Hot Springs Resort for the hot springs and northern light viewing area, we are not responsible for the upkeep of the resort itself. We will be reaching out to our contacts at Chena Hot Springs Resort to inform them of you experience at the restaurant and the review of the facilities in hopes that they can fix these problems in the near future. We hope that if you do decide to travel to Alaska again that you give us another chance to give you a 5 star tour experience. Please feel free to reach out to our office during normal business hours if you would like to discuss your experience any further.

The total experience of a tour relies on the ability of the tour guide. Jake provided the overall experience which made the trip memorable. We were taken care from pick-up to drop off.. thanks to Jake he wanted to make sure we saw the Aurora.
