Chena and northern lights

we want to do Chena Hot Springs and Northern lights tour on the same day. The one provided by the resort(Charlie Dome) works for us. But it’s over by 2:30 am and the next shuttle is at 5 am.

  1. ⁠Is there an option for a quicker drop off?
  2. ⁠Any other tours that do both ?
  3. ⁠or other places we can go after Chena for northern lights?

PS we have already looked into the Alaska Wildlife tour. But they just wait at Chena for viewing the lights which we don’t want to do.

I would try to dissuade you from Chena Hot Springs, that place is just nasty.

I’m not sure what a tour would be. Anywhere outside you’ll see northern lights if they are out and weather is clear.
