Northern Alaska Tour Company Guide

Looking for Coworkers who excel at:

     Making people smile

     Thinking on their feet

     Genuinely engaging with people from around the world

     Accepting the challenge of hard work

     Taking initiative on new tasks

     Conveying enthusiasm for Alaska's Arctic

We are looking for enthusiastic persons who can't wait to share Interior and Arctic Alaska with guests from around the country and the world while operating a 26 passenger bus on Alaska's famous Dalton Highway.

These are day tours based in Fairbanks, AK. It is 200 miles to the Arctic Circle on the Dalton Highway - and 200 miles back. Because we operate at a speed appropriate to a rugged, gravel, wilderness highway, and because we make stops to see the sights and take photos, each tour takes about 16 to 18 hours. This means only 2 to (occasionally) 3 tours per week with lots of overtime hours.

We will train you to get your Commercial Driver License, which is yours to keep and use in the future.

Training starts April 15 (We pay minimum wage (AK) for most of your training hours). Your first tour is generally the first week of June. Our season ends September 21. The last month of the season - August 21-Sept 21 - is quite busy because it is getting dark enough at night for folks to see the Aurora Borealis - another perk for you as a guide.

Compensation is $14.00/hour (with housing + transportation) or $17.00 (without housing / transportation) + gratuities. Remember, at least half of your guiding hours will be paid at time-and-a-half. $1000 season completion bonus for guides coming from outside of Alaska.
