Cycle Alaska is hiring Driver Guides for our 2023 summer season. We're looking for friendly and energetic people who enjoy working outdoors to share the beauty of Juneau with our Guests. As a Driver Guide, you will get the opportunity to communicate directly with guests, share information on the surrounding area while being outside and be a part of a great team here at Cycle Alaska!
You start off your day by loading up and heading down to the Cruise ship docks! You get to greet your guests and then take them on an adventure through the Tongass National Forest! Our Driver Guides have the opportunity to ride with our guests on bike lanes, paths and gravel trail. Our tours are moderately paced and include stops along the way to talk about the surrounding area.
Tours always have one person driving our van and meeting at each stopping point while the other guides will be biking along side our guests. We try to have a mix of driving and biking each day so everyone gets an opportunity to bike with our guests.

- First and foremost, upholding our Tour Mission; “We create great memories for our guests”.
