At Alaskan Sights & Bites, we take pride in paying a living wage. However, as with many seasonal jobs, our guides often rely on tips to help support themselves throughout the year. Though tipping your guide is not mandatory, we find most guests tip 15 to 20%. 100% of guest gratuities go directly to guides. As patrons, Alaskan Sights & Bites tips 20% for all the servers at the bars and restaurants we visit on our tours.
