Overview

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 tonnes 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.
