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 ever-evolving ropes and zipline challenge course with climbing tower/walls.

We offer four tours: Tatoosh Islands Sea Kayaking, Eagle Island Sea Kayaking-both single and double kayaks,  Zipline Adventure Park, and Alaska Boatman Adventure.

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 a current certification in First Aid and CPR at a minimum and be 21 or older. 

Our tours range from 2-3.5 hours in length. You can expect to 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 end of April  to mid October. Tours start off slow in April and end slowly in Oct. , with peak season being May, 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 peak season.  We strive to select a core group of enthusiastic and hard working 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!
