Covering 3.3 million acres of rugged mountains, dynamic glaciers, temperate rainforest, wild coastlines, and deep sheltered fjords, Glacier Bay National Park is a highlight of Alaska’s Inside Passage and part of a 25-million acre World Heritage Site-one of the world’s largest international protected areas. From summit to sea, Glacier Bay offers limitless opportunities for adventure and inspiration including hiking, kayaking, games, camping, movie nights and more.

We organize employee trips into the nearby town for shopping needs. Additionally, there is a convenience store within walking distance as well as discounted items that can be purchased in our retail outlets.

Glacier Bay is an escape from the hustle and bustle most people are used to. Both cell phone service and internet are spotty in Glacier Bay. Cell phone service is non-existent at the lodge but we do have land lines and you can go into town and get cell service there. There is wifi in the lodge as well as landline computers available but there is not wifi in the employee community.

We have uniforms available for you depending on your role here. We require all of our team members to maintain a professional appearance, including the practice of good hygiene. 

The employee housing is comprised of rustic, dormitory-style units. The rooms are very simple. All of the rooms have private bathrooms with a toilet and shower. The rooms have 2-4 beds in them.  In most cases, you’ll have one or two other roommates. It is slightly possible that you will be 4 people to a room, but staffing needs generally do not require us to have 4 to a room.

The cost is $15.00 per day for all employees. This includes 3 meals a day in our Employee Dining Room and laundry facilities.

We work with CIEE as our J1 visa sponsor for international students. To learn more about opportunities for international students and begin the application process, please click here for the CIEE website.

We offer low cost meals at employee dining rooms. Additionally, you will enjoy discounts at our general stores and other dining locations in the area.

Although Glacier Bay is in a very remote and isolated part of the state, getting here is surprisingly easy. There are no roads leading to Gustavus from the mainland, but there are daily airplane and bi-weekly ferry connections from Juneau, the state capital of Alaska to Gustavus/Glacier Bay. So the first step is to fly to Juneau then fly or ferry to Gustavus.
