About Millers Landing

Millers Landing is a family-owned adventure tourism and lodging business on the shores of Resurrection Bay, just outside Seward, Alaska. Since 1982, we’ve been helping guests experience the best of Alaska with guided sea kayaking, fishing charters, water taxis, boat rentals, and remote wilderness trips. We also partner with other top tour operators in the area to connect visitors with unforgettable adventures.

What’s it like to work here? Busy, exciting, and full of opportunities! Summer at Millers Landing is fast-paced, with multiple tours and charters running daily. You’ll work hard, but you’ll also get to experience world-class fishing, hiking, wildlife viewing, and kayaking in your free time. This isn’t a luxury resort—it’s a hands-on, adventure-filled workplace where adaptability, teamwork, and a love for the outdoors go a long way.

If you’re looking for a job that’s more than just a paycheck, where you can meet new people, learn new skills, and truly experience Alaska, this might be the place for you! Our season runs May 1st to September 15th, and we’re looking for dedicated, adventurous team players ready to jump in and make the most of it. Are you in? 🌿🌊🏔️

The Employee Experience

Working at Millers Landing isn’t your typical job—it’s like summer camp for grown-ups, but with the added thrill of living and working in the heart of wild Alaska. If you love the outdoors, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and enjoy sharing nature with others, this is the place for you!

Here, your “backyard” is Resurrection Bay, Kenai Fjords National Park, and the Chugach National Forest. When you’re not helping guests experience Alaska through kayaking, fishing, and boat tours, you’ll be out exploring yourself—hiking rugged trails, camping under the midnight sun, fishing for your own dinner, or paddling alongside glaciers.

The Alaskan experience is like nowhere else—it’s breathtaking, unpredictable, and completely unforgettable. You’ll meet incredible people, learn new skills, and push your limits, all while surrounded by some of the most stunning landscapes on Earth. If you’re ready for a season of adventure, hard work, and epic experiences, come join us at Millers Landing! 🌿🌊🏔️

Ideal Candidate

We’re searching for enthusiastic, dependable, and self-motivated team players who love meeting new people and helping visitors experience the magic of Alaska. If you’re excited about working in the outdoors, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and enjoy making someone’s trip unforgettable, you’ll fit right in! Outdoor skills are a plus, but a positive attitude and willingness to learn are what matter most. 🌿🌊🏔️

Room and Board

We offer affordable housing for full-time staff, with rates just enough to cover utilities and basic upkeep.

🏡 Staff Bunkhouse – A 5-bedroom apartment with WiFi, a private kitchen, and a bathroom, shared by two people per room.

🌲 Rustic Cabins – We also have several dry cabins on the property, each housing 2-3 staff members with propane or wood-stove heat. These cabins are close together, with access to an outdoor kitchen, showers, restrooms, and WiFi.

Many staff end up with their own cabin or share with just one person—it’s a mix of cozy, small cabins spread across the property, offering a true Alaskan living experience! 🌿🔥

Employee Perks

We offer 401k options and an insurance package for year-round employees, along with plenty of opportunities to experience the best of Alaska during your time here.

🌊 Adventure Perks – Staff are encouraged to try all of Millers Landing’s activities and tours, as well as those we book for partner companies. This includes kayak lessons, rentals, guided trips, water taxis, glacier and wildlife tours, dog sledding, fishing charters, and more—giving you firsthand knowledge of the experiences we provide.

🏔️ Endless Outdoor Access – In your free time, enjoy hiking, fishing, camping, and wildlife viewing right in your backyard. Our location is backed up to scenic trails and prime fishing spots, making it easy to explore Alaska’s wild beauty.

🚀 Room to Grow – Hardworking, motivated employees can transition into year-round roles with leadership opportunities. If you’re looking for a career in adventure tourism, this is the perfect place to start!

Getting Here and Getting Around

Employees are responsible for arranging their own transportation to and from Anchorage. Once you arrive, you can take the train or bus to Seward, and we’re happy to help set that up. When you get to Seward, we’ll pick you up at the depot and bring you to Millers Landing on Lowell Point, just three miles outside of town via a scenic dirt road.

Seward is a small, walkable town, and many employees get around by bike, foot, or even rollerblades! The ride into town is mostly flat and incredibly scenic if you stick to the coast. While the nearest grocery store is five miles away, staff often carpool to town to run errands or explore. Having a vehicle is helpful for seeing more of Alaska, but with hiking trails, fishing spots, and the Chugach National Forest right in our backyard, adventure is never far away! 🚲🏔️🚶‍♂️

For Fun

Seward is an amazing place to spend a summer! Whether you’re into hiking, kayaking, fishing, or wildlife watching, there’s no shortage of adventure. Explore scenic trails, paddle through fjords, take a fishing charter, hop on a glacier cruise, or even go dogsledding or flightseeing—all right in your backyard!

Though Seward is a small town, it comes alive in the summer with seasonal workers, locals, and visitors from all over the world. There’s a fun, social atmosphere with live music, great local spots to grab food and drinks, and plenty of opportunities to meet new people. Whether you’re looking for outdoor adventure or a lively night out, Seward has something for you! 🌿🌊🎶
