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.

Really relaxed trip with complimentary pick up/drop off. We rented a Airbnb and they were easily able to accommodate that for us. The ice museum was short was interesting. The tour guide was funny and very nice. The hot springs are really worth the 1 hour drive. They’re so beautiful and relaxing but you only get two hours there. We saw northern lights while in the springs but also our guide took us northern lights hunting and we found it!! 10/10 recommend!

The tour guide was on time no issues on that. We only had a glimpsed of the northern lights, he kept on saying “ you guys don’t see it?” He took us to several locations still no luck. I will not recommend this tour, other tour companies offer photography.

Hello, We are sorry that this trip was not to your satisfaction. We always let our customers know before booking with us that we cannot guarantee the lights but that we will always make our best effort to see them. For this tour though, we do know that the lights were seen. We reached out to a few other guests who let us know they were definitely visible. We know, however, that they can be quite difficult to identify if one doesn’t have a lot of experience. Our guides would never intentionally offend any of our guests and we spoke with the guide who truly thought he was answering the question sincerely. We hope that this did not damper your trip too much and that you were still able to enjoy Alaska. Thank you for touring with us and we wish you well. Your AWG Team
