Discover Alaska’s natural hot springs and amazing ice sculptures on a full-day tour to Chena Hot Springs from Fairbanks. Enjoy a scenic 60-mile (95-km) drive from your Fairbanks hotel to Chena Hot Springs, where you can soak in the large outdoor pool of this legendary resort. You can also take a tour that showcases how Chena Hot Springs makes use of geothermal energy to power the resort, and check out the sculptures in the Aurora Ice Museum.
After arriving at the resort, you’ll be taken to the restaurant for a bite of lunch where you can sample some home grown Alaskan fare (optional and not included in price).

You can also take an optional tour of the resort’s greenhouse and geothermal plant to learn more about how the resort is generating its own electricity and aiming to be more self-sustaining.
