Job Description
Milford Sound / Piopiotahi is one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and its remote location is part of what makes it so special. Life here is a little different from what you might be used to. You'll be surrounded by incredible landscapes, working alongside a close-knit team and experiencing a side of New Zealand that few people ever get to call home. If you want a season you'll talk about for the rest of your life, keep reading.
Share your love of Fiordland with our guests. You'll guide water activities, deliver commentary on the fauna, flora and history of the Sound, and help create the kind of evening on the water people never forget.
We're looking for a passionate and energetic Nature Guide to join our incredible team aboard the Mariner. If you love the outdoors, thrive in a remote environment, and have a knack for storytelling, this could be the perfect fit.
As a Nature Guide, you'll be the voice of the fiord - bringing the magic of Milford Sound to life for our guests. You'll work alongside a dedicated crew of Launch Masters, Chefs, and fellow guides to deliver unforgettable experiences on the water.
Your days will be filled with:
Delivering engaging and informative commentary
Hosting and guiding guests through the wonders of Fiordland
Supporting onboard operations and activities like kayaking
Creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere for all visitors
What we're looking for:
To be considered for this role you will have all this under your belt:
At least 2 years' Guiding, Hosting or Hospitality Experience
Maritime knowledge
Experience in operating a small tender craft preferred
Knowledge of Fiordland flora and fauna
Someone who thrives in a dynamic, high-energy, and remote environment. Great communication skills and a strong team player who enjoys working with a diverse crew.
Is physically fit and capable of heavy lifting
Loves the outdoors and doesn't mind a bit of rain!
What do you get out of this?
Live and work on our amazing vessel, the Mariner for your 7 days on, allowing you your own time on your 7 days off to do what you want to do!
Experience the beauty of Milford Sound firsthand, every day.
Incredible staff perks: Enjoy our iconic adventures for free or at a great discount! Think rafting the Shotover and Kawarau Rivers, cruising Doubtful Sound, exploring the Te Anau Glowworm Caves, and discovering the magic of Rakiura.
Real people, real places, real experiences. Welcome to Real.
When's the best time to join the Real whānau? Now's good.
We're the conservation business that's enabled by tourism. We're helping the world, one guest at a time, fall in love with conservation. We're inspiring people to leave their places in better conditions than when they found them. We channel a guest-centric approach that fuels our genuine promise to deliver Aotearoa's most unforgettable experiences.
It's our workplace environment that makes careers at RealNZ more exciting than the regular job. Working for Real could mean you're based anywhere between a secluded island, a scenic fiord, and a snow-capped maunga. Our people, places, and workdays are a great and diverse mixture. It keeps us on our toes and adds value and passion to our work.
At RealNZ, we're committed to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. Guided by our values of Pono (Keep it real) and He waka eke noa (We're all in this together), we embrace and celebrate the unique perspectives and experiences that make our team stronger. Everyone is welcome here.
