Chena Hot Springs and Northern Lights Night Tour from Fairbanks
Ratings collected by Viator and Tripadvisor
FairbanksA full night at Chena Hot Springs with guides and transport included, built around the hours when the aurora is most likely rather than around the resort's opening times. The Aurora Ice Museum comes first. It is built entirely from ice, hand carved chandeliers and bar included. Then the hot springs, then the waiting. This one runs later than most: the group stays until 2 am and is back in Fairbanks between 3 and 4 am, which puts you outside through the entire window when the aurora is statistically most active. Booking note: all sales are final, with no refund for cancellation.
What's included
