Rafting Guide careers
A Rafting Guide leads groups on white-water rafting expeditions, ensuring the safety and enjoyment of participants while navigating rivers and rapids. This role involves preparing and maintaining equipment, providing safety briefings, instructing participants on paddling techniques, and managing emergency situations when necessary.
Rafting Guides must have strong swimming skills, physical fitness, and a deep knowledge of river conditions and weather patterns. They often work in scenic outdoor environments and must be confident decision-makers with excellent communication and teamwork abilities. The job is seasonal and typically aligns with peak tourism periods, often requiring flexible hours and travel to remote locations.
