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.

The favorite part was spending two hours in the hot springs! On the way there, our guide, Clark, gave an excellent description of the history of Alaska, Fairbanks, and the Chena Hot Springs area. I rate the trip 9.5. I rate the guide 10.0!

Though we didn't see the northern lights because it was cloudy, our group still had fun. We saw a young moose along I ng the way. The ice sculptures are truly worth seeing. The appletinni cocktail served in a glass made of ice is so good! The bar, the counter and seats are all made of ice. There are other beautiful ice sculptures to see. The hot springs dip is a must to experience, too. Lastly, our guide Dave,, is funny, professiional and friendly.

Had a wonderful time at this tour! Hot springs were amazing the ice museum was neat as well. We didn't get to see the northern lights but our tour guide Caleb gave us our best shot. He also helped us with our itinerary for the following day which included about a 5hour road trip from the north pole to glaciers to anchorage. He is fun, helpful and goes above and beyond. Def recommend
