Employment

A “University in the Outdoors” — work hard, play hard, and grow real skills on the river.

Kia Ora

We are always keen to hear from potential enthusiastic team members who have a proven ability in the outdoors and have an outgoing, friendly & trustworthy character, who are keen to contribute to a successful team environment.

Our staff is our number one resource in a business that focuses on consistently exceeding customer expectations — we are customer obsessed! If you love showing people a great time, you’ll love to be on our team!

We work hard and often, working on a basis of doing the Ordinary — Extraordinarily well. Those expecting a “cruisey” time won’t last long with us, but we play hard and have fun, too! There is never a dull day and there is plenty of fun to be had in the surrounding Mountains, Lakes and Rivers.

Our wages are competitive, and the life experience is nothing short of exceptional! We strive to see our employees grow and learn new practical and personal skills during their time with us. With our portfolio of rivers, trips and facilities, there are always opportunities to learn new or different aspects of guiding or business management.
