Kia ora! Want to work for Ngāi Tahu Tourism, one of the largest tourism operators in Aotearoa?
We're on the hunt for experienced river raft guides - outdoor enthusiasts who love water and adventure. You will guide manuhiri (visitors) on Funyak's (inflatable canoes) along the Dart River, a treasured and unique environment. If you're a natural storyteller and entertainer, then this is the perfect role for you!
Our river raft (Funyak) experience combines jet boating on the beautiful and iconic Dart River with a canoe journey in the heart of Mt Aspiring National Park. A wilderness picnic lunch and exploration of the stunning Rockburn Chasm are a highlight of the tour.
We take great pride in warmly welcoming manuhiri to our experiences. Manaakitanga (hospitality) is one of the core values that drives the way we do business. As hosts, we care for our customers and our team as our own whanau.
We offer not only a unique experience for visitors, but also an awesome place to work.
