MEET THE OWNER / ADVENTURE SIXTY NORTH
Seward, Alaska
What it means to choose Adventure Sixty North
A letter from the owner
When choosing a guiding company for your Alaskan adventures, you’ll find many options in Seward. While most companies emphasize the unique skills and training of their guides, the truth is that the guiding community here is highly qualified. At Adventure Sixty North, our guides hold degrees in outdoor education, with many having dual degrees, and are certified outdoor adventure instructors. They’re passionate professionals dedicated to sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm with you.
What truly sets us apart is our commitment to maintaining a small, intimate guiding experience. Adventure Sixty North started from humble beginnings and remains the smallest guiding company in Seward, and we intend to keep it that way. By hiring and training a select group of just 8 or 9 guides each season, our management remains hands-on, ensuring every client receives the personalized experience we envision. For safety and quality, we limit our adventures to no more than 6 people per guide.
Seward’s guiding community is a close-knit group. We’re committed to teamwork, and if we can’t accommodate you or don’t offer a particular service, we’ll gladly refer you to one of our trusted friends.
Thank you for considering Adventure Sixty North. We hope to share the beauty of Seward, Alaska with you on one of our adventures!
Sincerely,
Rick Brown Owner/Guide
