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.

We apologize for the job performance of the guide that was in charge of this tour. There should never be a reason why you should feel uncomfortable with any of our guides.

Bad tour ! We left late and guide was lost. I believe the guide has potential to become a good guide but it was definetely not fair to put the group with someone with no experience in the northern lights or touristic tours. Ice museum is really bad for the price. Hot springs are dirty. Restaurant wasn't booked. Tour should offer to cancel if aurora forecast is not good. I really don't think it's worth the price.

We apologize for the job performance of the guide that was in charge of this tour. I assure you that all of our guides are thoroughly trained in the tours that they are doing but due to this guide's poor performance she is no longer with our company. Looking back in the trip logs, it did look like there was a decent aurora forecast for the night that you took the trip and have had other tours that have seen the lights with the same forecast. We do not guarantee that the lights will be visible on any of our tours regardless of the aurora forecast. Again we apologize for the experience that you had on one of our tours. Please feel free to contact our office if you would like to speak further about your experience.

Jake was a great tour guide! He shared information about the area and answered questions as they came up. We had a wonderful time at Chena Hot Springs - the ice museum, dinner with those in our group, and the hot springs. Unfortunately, we didn’t see the northern lights due to weather, but had fun trying! We would recommend this tour and tour guide.
