Step into the wild beauty of Rakiura, where rare wildlife, windswept beaches, rugged peaks, and lush rainforests surround you. This summer, Stewart Island could be your home! If you're passionate about flora, fauna, and the natural world, this is your dream island life. Picture yourself getting paid to introduce visitors to this stunning environment and its remarkable creatures. As an Experience Crew Guide, you'll be part host, kiwi spotter, storyteller, and naturalist (don't worry, not the nude kind!).
Your role will involve guiding small groups on nighttime kiwi-spotting adventures and leading daytime tours to the pristine Ulva Island. As a versatile team player, you'll help with various tasks - from retail and wharf duties to potentially driving, narrating tours, and even joining boat crews. You're engaging, genuine, and quick to anticipate guests' needs, making each experience truly memorable.
What we're looking for:
Maritime knowledge and experience on vessels (a big plus!)
Previous guiding or group-hosting experience
Flexibility to work evenings and weekends
A team player with a positive, can-do attitude who loves a challenge
What you'll enjoy:
Breathtaking hikes and walks right at your doorstep
A balanced roster that respects your time
Accommodation if needed
Island life in a charming, close-knit New Zealand village
Incredible staff perks!
