Neka Hot Spring is a wild hot spring near Hoonah, in Southeast Alaska, USA. The water reaches 38°C in an open-air pool, ideal for wild bathing amid a remote, natural setting.
Insider tip — Neka Hot Spring is in Southeast Alaska's Alexander Archipelago near Glacier Bay — one of North America's most dramatic wilderness landscapes, where tidewater glaciers calve house-sized icebergs into fjords. The Tlingit people (whose name may be the source of 'Neka') have inhabited these waters for thousands of years; Southeast Alaska's inside passage channels bear and wolf territories. Reaching this remote hot spring requires boat or seaplane access, rewarding visitors with soaking in thermal waters surrounded by old-growth Sitka spruce and towering glacier-carved peaks.
