  • Are comfortable taking responsibility for group safety
  • Enjoy educating and interacting with the public
    • Minimum Requirements:

  • Demonstrated outdoor recreation experience (kayaking, paddling, guiding, camping, etc.)
  • Willingness and ability to train on multiple types of outdoor recreation equipment
  • Strong physical stamina and comfort working in Florida’s outdoor conditions
  • Ability to remain calm, confident, and professional in dynamic environments
    • Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead guided tours while maintaining full control and situational awareness of your group
  • Deliver clear pretour safety briefings with professionalism and authority
  • Assist guests before, during, and after tours with equipment and logistics
  • Guide from the front, rear, or flank as conditions require
  • Interpret the surrounding natural environment using approved scripts while maintaining a personable, welcoming style
  • Demonstrate proficiency across multiple tour formats and modalities
  • Participate in training for additional tour offerings as needed

  • Utilize appbased platforms for scheduling, communication, and reporting
  • Represent the company and the park with courtesy, respect, and professionalism at all times
    • Why This Role Matters:
