Soak. Glow. Dream. Your night begins with a scenic drive from Fairbanks into Alaska’s wilderness, where steaming Chena Hot Springs await. Slip into the mineral-rich waters as snow falls around you, then step inside the world-famous Ice Museum to admire glowing ice sculptures (and maybe sip a cocktail from an ice glass).Before or after your soak, you’ll also have the option to dine at the resort’s local restaurant — a cozy spot to enjoy hearty Alaskan dishes, warm drinks, and laughter with fellow travelers.Afterwards, we’ll head to prime spots to watch the Aurora Borealis dance across the Arctic sky. While the Northern Lights are a natural wonder and can’t be guaranteed, your guide will give you the best chance to witness them — and share the legends, science, and stories behind the glow.Even on rare nights when the aurora hides, you’ll still experience one of Alaska’s most iconic evenings: hot springs, ice art, good food, and star-filled skies in the heart of the Last Frontier.
