Unwind at Chena Hot Springs, explore the Ice Museum, and watch for the northern lights with help from your guides.

About this tour

Spend a day at Chena Hot Springs Resort, where a soak and a visit to the Ice Museum offer a memorable escape in Alaska. Your 10-hour experience includes entry to the hot springs swimming area and admission to the Ice Museum, with bottled water provided. If the northern lights appear, your guides will lead you to promising vantage points and help capture photos of the glowing sky. The aurora is a natural phenomenon, so sightings are not guaranteed. Dinner and snacks are available but not included, and gratuities are also excluded. Set aside time to unwind, explore the resort’s icy displays, and keep watch for a spectacular night sky. Book your Chena Hot Springs experience for a chance to pair a relaxing soak with the possibility of seeing the northern lights.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.94 from 86 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Fairbanks
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.4. Top 13% in Fairbanks means it ranks in the top 13% of tours in Fairbanks by this score.
