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.

Jake was an amazing tour guide and we had the best time. We got very lucky and got a great northern lights show. Enjoyed the hot Springs/ice bar and the restaurant before hand. Jake really made the tour and we couldn’t be more appreciative. Thank you !!

Our tour guide Jacob was amazing we went last night and oh my how fun. Not only did they pick you up from the hotel (within their pickup zone) but take you to these hot springs and amazing ice museum tour with a fun appletini bar and we all had a great dinner together at the lodge. Felt like great times with old friends. We fortunately got to see the northern lights! Our guide was so knowledgeable and drove us to the best spots! We really appreciated this guided tour it made our trip that much more special we will so recommend!

My husband and I throughly enjoyed ringing in the New Year at Chena Hot Springs with our guide, Bob. Not only did Bob have a great sense of humor, he shared knowledge of the area. The ice museum was interesting, food at the restaurant was delicious, Chena Spring’s New Year’s Eve fireworks show was pretty, and the view of the night skies was breathtaking. Truly amazing!! Bob was super prepared for our hike to the observatory cabin, adventure at the Hot Springs lake, and hydro-energy tour. Bob even had fireworks for our private fireworks show. It was a pleasure to meet Bob and his wife. They are the kind of folks you want as your friends. Chena Springs is defiantly worth the time, money, and travel. Loved it!!! It’s a must see and do!!!
