This tour combines two world class attractions- Alaska's finest hot springs resort and the fabulous aurora viewing possibilities in our late-night winter skies.
From your accommodations in Fairbanks, you will picked up in late afternoon and travel some sixty miles or so through the scenic Tanana State Forest, where wildlife abounds, to the Chena Hot Springs Resort, where you will visit famous attractions such as the Ice Museum and soak in the soothing hot springs and dine in their rustic restaurant. When you are done with the resort activities in late evening, your tour focuses on catching glimpses of the tantalizing northern lights, in and around the resort and at locations along the road. The extremely dark skies in the wilderness surrounding the resort are ideally suited for viewing the magnificent auroras.

Amazing experience!! So much better than the other "private tour" that was twice the price. Everyone at Chena is so friendly. We took a snowcat to the top of the mountain where there was a warming yurt with hot cocoa and warm cider and snacks. Spectacular 360 degree view to watch the lights dance.

This is a must see place. So many activities to chose from and the staff was awesome! Try to book rooms with them as opposed to staying in town.

It was awesome doing the two Aurora Tours and Chena Hot Springs with AuroraQuest. Our guide was great and gave us tips in how to find the Aurora, locations and others. Because of the weather conditions (clouds and snowing) during our tours unfortunately we couldn’t see the Aurora but with their tips we rented a car a have saw the Aurora yesterday in the location where he recommended. It was great tips!

We were not as impressed with the Hot Springs resort. Food was pricey but good, service slow but you do have a lot of time to wait for the Aurora to appear. Ice museum was ok but Ice Alaska was in Fairbanks at the same time. Hot Springs were very nice. Great time there.
Then the Aurora. There were a lot of people at the resort and some problems with light pollution so our guide, Ray, took us to a quieter place to watch for them. We stayed there for over 30 minutes watching them fill the sky. Them we started back towards Fairbanks again and the sky exploded with dancing Aurora ribbons and color. We stopped again and really got to see a beautiful show. This made the trip totally worthwhile and earned the 5 star review.
Thank you to Aurora Quest for the excellent night.

The weather forecast for Fairbanks was cloudy while we were visiting so we decided to use AuroraQuest for our trip to Chena Hot Springs/Aurora Viewing and we were so glad we did! Our driver/guide, Rene, who also is part owner of the business, was so knowledgeable and he answered all of our questions about Alaska and a whole lot more. He was a real character! He also was very courteous and extremely mindful of the fact that we had come great distances to see the Aurora and he did everything he could possibly do to make our experience everything that we had hoped for. After we had finished our activities at the hot springs resort we concentrated our time on finding the Aurora and Rene stayed out extra time to make sure we caught a good glimpse of the elusive Northern Lights. There was a spectacular display that night! Well worth the money and one of the best personalized tours we've been on during our travels.
