Embark on one of our most popular evening adventures to Chena Hot Springs Resort, a renowned Alaskan getaway just 60 miles from Fairbanks. Keep an eye out for moose, foxes, or beavers as you travel through the scenic interior.
Your night begins with a guided tour of the Aurora Ice Museum, home to stunning ice sculptures and the famous ice bar, where you can optionally enjoy an Appletini in a hand-carved ice glass (21+). Then relax with dinner or a drink in the cozy resort restaurant, featuring fresh, locally sourced produce (meal not included).
Afterward, soak in the outdoor mineral hot springs, a rejuvenating experience under the stars, or explore the snowy grounds while waiting for a chance to witness the magical Aurora Borealis. Your guide will point out the best spots for viewing and provide tips to make the most of the night.
Return to Fairbanks just after midnight, with a final chance to glimpse the aurora along the way.

Aurora Ice Museum
After being picked up, sit back, relax and enjoy the 60 mile (97 kms) journey out to Chena Hot Springs Resort. Keep a lookout for wildlife that might include a moose, beaver or fox. Upon arrival, you’ll be given a guided tour of the Aurora Ice Museum, constructed of over 1000 tons of ice and snow. Marvel at magnificent ice-sculptures created by world-renowned ice carvers, sit at the ice bar on a caribou-hide covered bar stool or indulge in an appletini served in a hand-carved ice glass (optional-not included in price). You will then be shown to our table in the restaurant where you can enjoy some dinner and hot or cold beverages (optional and not included in price). Rejoin your group a little after midnight and head back to Fairbanks. Your guide may make a few stops along the way for further aurora viewing if it is active. Please note the aurora is an act of nature and it's appearance cannot be guaranteed.
Chena Hot Springs Resort
After arriving at the resort, you'll be taken to the restaurant where you can sample some home grown Alaskan fare (optional and not included in price). Enjoy a hot or cold beverage at the bar or don your bathing suit and head to the hot springs. The revitalizing mineral water soothes muscles with its warm temperatures of 106 degrees F (41 degrees C) year-round. You can soak under the stars in an outdoor hot tub, or indoors in the heated pool. 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 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.

5.00All around good experience. The Ice Museum was literally ‘cool’, topped off with an Appletini. We had a nice meal at the lodge. The hot springs were awesome! Finished off with multiple views of the Northern Lights. We were able to go in and out of the activity center when watching the lights, which kept us from getting really cold.
Horrible! Waste of time and money!

1.00This was one of the worst things I have ever paid for. The tour was not delivered as advertised. There was no mention of a dinner planned so I ate before hand. There was no mention we would see an ice museum, which I have seen before. Dinner took almost 2.5 hours, which left only about 1 hour for the hot springs. Then to boot, we did not leave the resort to "chase" the lights. We stayed at a "viewing room" which had a huge van parked in front of one of the two windows so you couldn't see outside. The viewing room had nails and garbage on the floor and was filthy. We stayed at the viewing room for 2 hours and there wasn't even coffee made for us (there was instant). Waste of money and would not recommend to anyone. Honestly, I would like my money back, as I could have driven to the resort, sat in the hot springs and looked at the lights from the parking lot all in about 3 hours. Waste! Terrible! The driver also didn't talk about anything nor was helpful in what to expect.

3.00Savvy was a great tour guide. She had lot of knowledge for the short amount of time she has been in Alaska. She answered every question that was asked and also gave us information on how to know when the northern lights will be at their best. The only downfall is the van. So uncomfortable for the drive there and back.
Good experience, would recommend

5.00Our tour guide Savvy was sweet, knowledgeable and honest about what to expect with the Northern lights. It is obvious she loves Alaska and she loves her job. The sky is full of clouds, but that’s not her fault. She made this tour very enjoyable. Highly recommend 🥰

5.00Savvi was a great tour guide. Unfortunately we did not see Aurora due to weather conditions, but the tour was great! We loved it
It's not for solo travel.

2.00The event was cancelled when the number of people could not gather on the morning. Transferring to another tour on the day is very difficult. I know it's not profitable, but at least I'd like to see a little bit more judgment. He said he would introduce me to a personal tour that would take me there, but eventually he told me he couldn't take me there, and when I was looking for other people, he replied several times, but it faded away. I ended up wasting my day. The Chena Hot Springs website provided information on shuttle buses that could be operated if booked at least 72 hours in advance. They don't take me anywhere else, but I wish I'd left them here. For two or more people, a one-way cab costing $150 to $200 isn't hard, but a one-person cab is tough.
Loved the hot springs

5.00Savvy is the best guide I've ever had, and I've been on a lot of tours. She gave us options of how we could spend the evening. She is very knowledgeable about Alaska too. First we went to the ice museum which was a nice and great place for photos. Great place to be served an apple Martini in ice which you can smash at the entrance while making a wish. Then with Savvy's recommendations, we went to dinner and the salmon there was fantastic. After dinner we all headed to the hot springs. I was there for about an hour to hour and a half, which I think is reasonable time to spend there before getting cooked. I liked that they are real hot springs and not a glorified hot tub. After that Savvy did her best to help us seek out some Aurora lights based off weather predictions. 10/10 recommend and if Savvy is your guide then you're super lucky!!
