Our drivers are often the first impression a guest has of our company. We prefer applicants who are genuinely welcoming and have an innate desire to share relevant and accurate natural and cultural history and interpretive information while safely navigating the roadways and providing exceptional guest service.

This position is a great way to build skills and make the jump to guiding. When you aren’t picking up rafting or fishing shuttles or driving guests to and from the airport you will assist with maintenance, landscaping, and other camp projects so strong preference is given to applicants with skills they can apply when they are out from behind the wheel.

Likewise, experience driving with trailers, buses or a Class “C” CDL is a plus.

We have multiple driving positions. Some assist with our multi-day guided trips and others pick up raft guests and lead airport shuttles. For certain driving roles, we fund, train, and facilitate your Class C CDL with Passenger Endorsement.

This position pays $16.00-$19.00/hour depending on experience, and offers free food and housing. Housing includes individual canvas and wood wall tent w/ communal amenities on site of main lodge along the Upper Kenai River.
