Southeast Exposure

Southeast Exposure Outdoor Adventure Center is located on our beautiful 5-acre waterfront property with sea kayaking access, a boathouse, pier, dock, restrooms, employee housing and an ever evolving ropes and zipline challenge course with climbing tower/walls.

We do five tours: Tatoosh Islands Sea Kayaking, Eagle Island Sea Kayaking-both single and double kayaks, Clover Pass Bike, Zipline Adventure Park and Alaska Boatman.

Guides participate in an intensive one week in house training for all tours. You should be physically fit and an outdoor enthusiast. We often have many returning guides; a good number of them are local Ketchikan people. We require you to arrive with an eight-hour certification in Advanced First Aid and CPR at a minimum, and be 21 or older. 

Our trips range from 3 hrs to 4 ½ hours for the guest. You will work 1-3 trips per day back to back, and will spend 2-2 ¼ hours with each group of guests. 

The tour season is from May 1 - October 5. Tours start off slow in May and end slowly in Oct. with peak season being June, July and August. We are willing to be flexible with your arrival and departure dates but realize the majority of the hours of work will be June-Aug.  We strive to select a core group of enthusiastic guides for the summer season. All employees work together closely as a team and act cordially like one big happy family throughout the season. Guide training is usually the first week of May. Guides are paid for training and according to their skill level, apparent leadership ability, and commitment to the entire season.  We hope that you will become a part of this core group!
