Summer work on remote Raspberry Island within the Kodiak Island Archipelago, Alaska!
As second generation hosts we specialize in both fresh and salt water fishing, fully guided and outfitted sea kayaking and hiking trips, and fly out Brown Bear viewing.
We are a remote wilderness lodge located on Raspberry Island, about 35 miles away from Kodiak City. We provide our own HydroElectric power and are not connected to a grid of any kind, aside from satellite internet. We are settled in the midst of the raw, wild, coastal Kodiak Island Archipelago, Alaska.
About Kodiak Raspberry Island Remote Lodge
HI! We are a second-generation family living on remote Raspberry Island, within the Kodiak Island Archipelago, Alaska. At our lodge, we host vacationers from around the world on fishing, sea kayaking, hiking, and fly out bear viewing trips from late May through late September. We hire a small team of just 7 people to join us here each summer. The work we do is involved, with often long hours, and can be hard! But, for the right candidate, the work, as well as our time off, is truly rewarding! Have a look at our website and job descriptions, and if anything looks interesting, perhaps we'll meet you this summer on Raspberry Island!
The Employee Experience
Living and working here on Raspberry Island is a combination of supporting our guests' vacations while trying to squeak in a little time for ourselves in between! Raw wilderness surrounds our property and that's it... so if you enjoy the out of doors, this could be a great place to spend your summer! Competitive pay, guaranteed hours, tips, room and board, an end of season bonus, time off during the day, as well as one day off per week to enjoy and explore!
Ideal Candidate
Our ideal candidate is someone who can quickly become part of our team, embracing this likely different environment and lifestyle, and approaching all of this with a positive, ‘can-do’ attitude. We look for quick learners who aren’t dismayed by direction yet can approach each situation autonomously while seeing the ‘big picture.’
Each member of our team has a tremendously important impact on our guest’s vacation, which ultimately determines the success of their trip and our success as a team and business. So folks with a positive, helpful, friendly persona make our lives here a lot easier!
Finally, we are looking for members who can love and enjoy the area we live in as much as we do.
Room and Board
Our team stays in our small duplex staff cabin here on the property or upstairs in private rooms within the lodge. Warm, indoor bathrooms with flush toilets and showers (nice for the wilderness), 24-hour electricity, and Starlink satellite internet use. All meals are provided.
Employee Perks
Our team is paid a competitive hourly wage, guaranteed hours, often receive gratuities from guests, and an end of season bonus. We live in an awesome remote location, are part of a small team, and attract an ‘off the beaten path’ type clientele, many of whom are returning guests! Room and board is included, in addition to fantastic opportunities to enjoy and immerse yourself in the area we call home.
Getting Here and Getting Around
You’ll need to fly through Anchorage, Alaska, and on to Kodiak City. We’ll typically pick you up in Kodiak for the boat or plane ride out to the lodge.
For Fun
Team members enjoying their days off are welcome to use our kayaks and/or hiking trails around the lodge, relax, sleep in, and so on. We are not within a community or is there an opportunity to socialize outside of the property.. so peace and nature loving people will thrive here. This is an amazing, beautiful place, and opportunities abound. You will meet people from around the world, who in many cases may be able to offer you constructive input and professional connection. Your office will be in the middle of the remote Alaskan wilderness on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. Your apartment is one of the top lodges on Kodiak and in Alaska, and your restaurant is appreciated by travelers from the world over. Among these the true opportunity of this job lies; it is up to you to make the most of it.
