Guide

Our roots lie deep in the Kenai River. Alaska Rivers Company was one of the first oar powered outfitters to run on the upper Kenai River, dating back to 1974. Over the past 50 years we have built our operations to be based upon delivering superior personal service, hiring only the best guides and using the highest quality, highly maintained equipment to share the Kenai River with our guests. We are proud to offer Alaska river rafting trips, Alaska guided fishing and Alaska cabin rentals all on the beautiful Upper Kenai River and through the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge through our special use permits.

As one of the largest and locally owned rafting companies on the upper Kenai River, Alaska Rivers Company is uniquely positioned to provide you a spectacular vacation or quick getaway that you will treasure forever.

Although ARCs operations and reputation has grown over the last 50 years, our ongoing mission has remained the same.

We strive to enrich people’s lives by providing outstanding adventure experiences. Our goal since 1974 has been to help people of all ages enjoy the best outdoor experience of their lives. We personally encourage and actively support awareness, deeper appreciation and preservation of our natural ecosystems. Our trips are great adventures that emphasize heightened attentiveness to human impact on the environment.

Additional Prefered Skills/Qualifications:

We are permitted for the entire length of the Upper Kenai River, and run Middle Kenai River trips for our lodge package guests. We operate in 18-20 ft. aluminum drift boats. The standard guide boat for the Kenai is four or fewer fishermen per guide. The Upper Kenai is drift only waters and is an anglers paradise and the Middle River is home to some massive fish. You will be expected to be versed in bank and boat techniques for fly fishing and spin fishing for rainbow trout/char and Sockeye, Silver, and Pink salmon. You will need a Coast Guard License to guide the Kenai Canyon and the Middle Kenai River. We have both new guide and professional guide positions available. We run a very team focused operation and expect our fishing boatmen and women to help out in any capacity that they are needed. *see scenic guide/ fishing apprentice for those interested in learning the ropes*

This position is a very fun and exciting job that keeps you always on the move. This job is good for experienced boatmen and women and for new greenhorns as well. This is a perfect position for people looking for a job for summer break from college, or for someone wanting to get into the guiding and learn the ropes.

In this position you will gain valuable knowledge that will allow you to become qualified to run our other tours in the future. We are very team oriented and you will be expected to help everyone out wherever you can.

This is the same position as the scenic guide but is catered to individuals who are looking to acquire the skills and knowledge to become a fishing boatman or woman.
