“This was a very long day, but I feel it is worth it. They take us to some of the less visited locations such as the hobbit church. I really enjoyed that experience and chose it specifically. Driver was very friendly and knowledgable and I really appreciate it at. Our driver was called Ian.”

“If you're looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Alaska, look no further! Our tour with Gina was absolutely incredible—she is not only an expert guide but also a warm, engaging, and truly passionate person who made this trip unforgettable. The Ice Museum was a magical experience—walking through beautifully carved ice sculptures felt like stepping into another world. Then, soaking in the hot springs under the open sky was pure bliss, the perfect way to relax and take in the beauty of Alaska. But the highlight of the trip? Witnessing the northern lights! Definitely worth to take it!Read more”
Review of Fairbanks’ Chena Hot Springs night tour, covering aurora chances, ice museum, hot springs, guides, timing, costs, and practical tips.
“Our driver, Joseph, was so kind and knowledgeable about the area, and drove safe on the ich roads to the Chena resort! I deducted 1 point because the Chena resort was disappointing. The ice museum was great, the restaurant awesome, but the pool area was smaller than anticipated. The changing area was DISGUSTING! I never saw such an amount of hair and garbage on the floor of any public pool. There was no toilet paper. Unacceptable for a resort. What you should know about this tour is that your driver isn't a guide for the resort or the Northern Lights experience - you are discovering everything on your own.”

“Tony is an amazing host and guide! From pick up to drop off, he kept us engaged and laughing during our 9 hour excursion. We learned so much about the culture of interior Alaska and gained an appreciation for the people who have chosen to call this rugged place home. The ice museum was entertaining (feel free to skip the appletinis), and our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Dinner at the restaurant was delicious, and Tony kept the conversation flowing, making us feel more like old friends catching up over a good meal than the near strangers we actually were. The hot springs were incredible. Tony gave us a…”
