Fairbanks Northern Lights and Chena Hot Springs Tour

Join us on one of the most requested tours in the Fairbanks area

Head over to the world-famous Chena Hot Springs Resort, where you can take a soak in one of their mineral spring water pools.

The resort has two relaxing options, an indoor hot tub, and an outdoor soaking pool. The outdoor pool is restricted to adults, but all ages are welcome in the hot tub. Both pools are naturally heated year-round, allowing guests to comfortably wear a bathing suit, even in Interior Alaska's below-freezing temperatures.

Chena's location is perfect for Aurora Borealis viewing. The Aurora, otherwise known as the Northern Lights, is a natural light display that can be seen in the skies above the Arctic. While we can't guarantee the presence of the Aurora, this tour runs during the best season to view them in all their glory.

This tour also includes a guided tour of the Aurora Ice Museum, which is built from over 1000 tons of ice and snow harvested from the resort. The museum is kept at 25 degrees year-round to keep its magnificent ice sculptures frozen solid (but don't worry, parkas are available for use upon request)!

Optionally, guests can enjoy the resort's restaurant, whose menu features locally cultivated vegetables and Alaskan seafood. Please note that the cost of dinner is not included in the tour.

Chena Hot Springs is about 60 miles from Fairbanks. This tour includes round-trip scenic transportation from your hotel in Fairbanks or North Pole.
