Tourism

Summer through to Autumn is traditionally the busiest time of the year in our region with visitors coming to holiday and experience the natural surroundings and adventures. These experiences attract visitors from all over the world, so you will be preparing visitors for the experience. You will need a guiding qualification (New Zealand Outdoor Instructors Association Level 1 or more) as you will be responsible for the safety of visitors.

What you'll need to bring to the role

Almost all roles involve working with customers and a crew of people so being well presented, personable and working well with a team is a must. Local knowledge of the tourist attractions or places to visit will give you a head start, or you can quickly learn on the job. Most of the skills required in this industry are trainable so you just need to be willing to learn.

What you'll get out of it

The jobs will come with on-the-job training and there are many opportunities to progress by completing a formal qualification – e.g. kayak guiding, Kiwi Host, P endorsement, boat master – and these skills and experiences will open opportunities to travel and work anywhere.
