Sit back, relax, and take in the scenic Alaskan landscape as you're transported 60 miles east of Fairbanks to the famous Chena Hot Springs Resort. Along the way, keep your eyes peeled—you may spot moose, foxes, or even beavers in their natural habitat. Start your visit with a tour of the Aurora Ice Museum, home to stunning ice sculptures made from over 1,000 tons of ice and snow. Feeling adventurous? Try an optional Appletini in a hand-carved ice glass (21+, not included). Then, soak in the resort’s natural hot springs, explore scenic trails, or tour the greenhouse and geothermal energy facilities. Hungry? The on-site restaurant offers fresh Alaskan seafood and produce (meal not included). Before returning to Fairbanks, stop by the gift shop for locally made souvenirs. PLEASE NOTE: You are eligible for a full refund up to 7 days before your tour.

Q&A

Q: What should I wear to the Chena Hot Springs Day Tour? I'm worried about the weather!

A: You’ll want to dress in layers! The hot springs are warm, but the journey can be chilly, especially if you’re going in the fall or winter. A good waterproof jacket, warm socks, and comfortable shoes for walking around the resort are key. Don’t forget your swimsuit for the hot springs!

Q: Can I reschedule if my plans change last minute?

A: Yes, you can reschedule your tour! Just make sure to do it at least 7 days in advance to get a full refund if needed. If it's within that timeframe, contact the provider directly for options. They’re usually pretty accommodating!

Q: What age range is this tour suitable for? Can kids join?

A: The tour is great for all ages! Kids can definitely join, but keep in mind that the Appletini in an ice glass is 21+. There are plenty of family-friendly activities at the hot springs and the greenhouse, so it should be fun for everyone!

Thinking about gifting the Chena Hot Springs Day Tour—thoughts?

I’m considering this tour for my partner's birthday! The idea of soaking in those hot springs after seeing the Aurora Ice Museum sounds amazing. Has anyone tried the Appletini? Is it worth it? Also, do you recommend the restaurant there? I know meals aren’t included, but I'm curious about what to expect!
