Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs (Takhini Hot Springs)
Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs
Long-established natural hot spring on the edge of town, now converted into a Nordic-style spa, where in winter you can soak at minus 30°C and get frost in your hair.
The spring water is rich in minerals and has been used for about a century. After 2021 it was redeveloped as Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs, with outdoor pools at different temperatures, cold plunge pools and saunas. Entry is restricted to those aged 16 and over. In winter, the most famous activity is photographing 'frozen hair'. On clear nights, aurora tour groups often come here to soak while they wait for the northern lights. It is about 30 minutes' drive from the city centre. In peak season, book time slots online in advance.
Opening hours
Approx. 11:00–22:00 (check official website for booking slots)
