Great experience - The ice museum was so interesting. The Appletini's were strong (which is a good thing). The hot springs were so relaxing. Kevin, our guide was outstanding. He even went into the hot springs with us and took pictures so we didn't have to carry our phones/cameras. He was funny and informative. He even stopped a couple of times on the way back to catch the Northern Lights. We did....even though it was mostly cloudy.

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE!!!! - What an amazing experience! The hot springs were absolutely beautiful and so relaxing — the perfect way to enjoy Alaska. The Ice Museum was such a unique stop, and trying an Appletini in a carved ice glass was a highlight! Our guide Kevin was fantastic — knowledgeable, funny, and made sure we never felt rushed. Everything from pick-up to drop-off was seamless, and the small group size made it feel really personal. This is a must-do tour if you’re visiting Fairbanks!

Awesome Tour! Nate was a fantastic guide. - If you're going to go to Chena Hot Springs you should definitely use this company. Nate was extremely informative, well prepared, and even thought ahead to circumvent the long wait with the restaurant. The place is rustic and very interesting. The ice museum was fantastic as well.
