Getting Here and Getting Around
It is the employee's responsibility to make their own travel arrangements to/from their division of employment.
Once at the division, it is the employee's responsibility to get themselves to/from work on time.
It is highly recommended that consideration is given to bringing a bike or driving a car up to Alaska. Once in your division, some drivers pull their money to purchase a used car for the summer season to assist with their transportation needs.
For Fun
Alaska is definitely the land of outdoor fun - whether it is kayaking through the pristine waters, hiking gorgeous trails through the Tongass National Forest or enjoying a softball game under the midnight sun. There is always time to get out and enjoy the natural beauty of this great land - and you should take those opportunities when in Southeast Alaska.
As a tourism employee, you will have the chance to participate in multiple tours throughout the summer. Most operators provide industry rates or space available seating for our employees. Enjoy an afternoon of whale watching, zip line courses, dog sledding, floatplane trips, railroad tours, go-karts, helicopter tours, guided hikes, biking tours, river rafting, kayaking, and many other excursions.
