More About Rafting Guide Jobs in Alaska
Each rafting guide listing in Alaska shows the season dates, whether housing and meals are included, the pay when the employer states it, and how to apply directly to the employer. There is no application fee and no recruiter in the middle: the apply link goes to the outfitter, ranch, lodge, agency or crew that is hiring. Listings an employer posts directly are checked by a person before they go live; listings we found on public career pages are marked until they have been checked, so confirm the details with the employer before you travel. Recently filled rafting guide positions in Alaska stay visible below the live listings so you can see which employers hire and when.
