Overview

Soak. Glow. Dream. Your evening begins with a scenic drive from Fairbanks into Alaska’s wilderness to Chena Hot Springs Resort. Upon arrival, enjoy time at the famous Ice Museum, featuring glowing ice sculptures and frozen artistry. Afterward, guests may choose to dine at the resort restaurant (optional; food and drinks not included) skip dinner to enjoy extended soak time. Guests who bring snacks or choose light options will have more time in the hot springs. Relax in the outdoor mineralrich hot springs under open sky surrounded by steam, forest, and stillness. After your soak, we’ll travel to prime Aurora viewing locations to give you the best chance to witness the Northern Lights. While the aurora cannot be guaranteed, your guide will closely monitor conditions and share local knowledge and stories throughout the night. Pick-up is between 4:30–5:30 PM depending on weather. Return is as late as 2:00 AM, with flexibility to stay out later if the Northern Lights are especially strong.

Itinerary

1. Chena Hot Springs Resort
Soak. Glow. Dream. Your night begins with a scenic drive from Fairbanks into Alaska’s wilderness, where steaming Chena Hot Springs await. Slip into the mineral-rich waters as snow falls around you, then step inside the world-famous Ice Museum to admire glowing ice sculptures (and maybe sip a cocktail from an ice glass). Before or after your soak, you’ll also have the option to dine at the resort’s local restaurant — a cozy spot to enjoy hearty Alaskan dishes, warm drinks, and laughter with fellow travelers. Afterwards, we’ll head to prime spots to watch the Aurora Borealis dance across the Arctic sky. While the Northern Lights are a natural wonder and can’t be guaranteed, your guide will give you the best chance to witness them — and share the legends, science, and stories behind the glow. Even on rare nights when the aurora hides, you’ll still experience one of Alaska’s most iconic evenings: hot springs, ice art, good food, and star-filled skies in the heart of the Last Frontier.
