Driver Guide
Most people come to Alaska for the scenery, but not all employees get to see magnificent scenery every day. Snagging a job as a driver-guide is one of the easiest ways to see beautiful sights and meet interesting people.
The role of a driver-guide is to drive motorcoaches while telling stories and answering passengers’ questions along the way. You don’t necessarily need to have a CDL either – we will help you obtain is through a company training course.

Cook
Have kitchen experience? Bring it up north. If you have cooking chops, you can put them to work in places like the Skagway Westmark Hotel, the Kenai Princess Wilderness Lodge in Cooper Landing, or the Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge. As a line or prep cook, you can bring your skills to some of our popular Alaska restaurants, serving up all sorts of meals for visitors.
Whether it’s in a wilderness lodge or a more urban hotel in Anchorage, landing a cooking job in Alaska is a fantastic way to get a real Alaskan experience. In your off hours you can explore the sights that attract the tourists you’ll be serving. But instead of spending money to be in Alaska, you’ll be making money.
