Now Hiring: Flexible, Part-Time UTV Tour Guides

Looking for a flexible, part-time role where you can work outdoors, connect with people, and create meaningful experiencesโ€”without committing to a fixed schedule?

At Highlands Aerial Park, our UTV tours are more than just a ride. They are 90-minute guided experiences that blend adventure, storytelling, and educationโ€”covering the ecology, history, geology, and unique character of our mountain environment.

Weโ€™re looking for individuals who enjoy engaging with people, reading the room, and creating a memorable experience for every group.

This role is ideal for someone who wants flexible, supplemental workโ€”especially retirees or those looking to stay active and engaged.

What Makes This Role Unique
  • Extremely flexible schedulingโ€”you choose the days youโ€™re available
  • You are only scheduled when tours are booked on your available days
  • No fixed weekly schedule or minimum hours
  • Great supplemental income opportunity
  • Lower time commitment compared to traditional part-time roles
  • Work outdoors in a beautiful mountain environment
  • Opportunity to create meaningful, memorable guest experiences
What This Role Looks Like

As a UTV Tour Guide, youโ€™ll lead guests on guided, 90-minute off-road experiences through scenic terrain.

Your role goes beyond simply drivingโ€”youโ€™ll:

  • Share stories and insights about the land
  • Educate guests on local ecology, history, and geology
  • Read each group and tailor the experience to their interests
  • Create a balance of fun, learning, and connection

The most successful guides are those who can adapt their approach, connect with different personalities, and make each tour feel personal and engaging.

Quick Snapshot
  • Lead guided UTV tours through scenic mountain terrain
  • Blend entertainment with education and storytelling
  • Flexible, on-demand scheduling based on your availability
  • Full training provided (no prior guiding experience required)
  • Opportunity to grow into additional roles if desired
  • Pay structure reviewed during the interview process

Note: The salary range shown is required by job boards. This role is flexible and scheduled based on bookings, so actual earnings vary depending on availability and demand.

What Youโ€™ll Do
  • Lead and supervise guided UTV tours
  • Provide clear safety instructions and operational guidance
  • Share engaging, educational content about the local environment
  • Adapt your approach based on guest interests and group dynamics
  • Create a fun, safe, and memorable experience for every group
  • Assist with preparing vehicles and equipment
  • Support general operations as needed
Schedule & Availability
  • You choose the days you are available to work
  • You will only be scheduled when tours are booked on those days
  • Work volume varies by season:
    • Spring & Fall: lighter, less frequent
    • Summer & Peak periods: more consistent opportunities
  • Ideal for those seeking flexible, supplemental income
What Weโ€™re Looking For
  • Friendly, engaging, and personable
  • Strong communication and storytelling ability
  • Comfortable speaking to and leading small groups
  • Observant and able to โ€œread the roomโ€ and adjust accordingly
  • Calm, confident, and safety-focused
  • Reliable, punctual, and self-motivated
  • Enjoy being outdoors and interacting with people

Requirements

  • Must be at least 18 years old with a valid driverโ€™s license
  • Clean driving record (required for insurance purposes)
  • Comfortable operating off-road vehicles (training provided)
  • Comfortable being outdoors and active for extended periods
  • Must be able to communicate clearly with guests and team members
  • Must be reliable and able to work independently
