What is a hiking guide?

A Hiking Guide is a professional who leads individuals or groups on outdoor hiking adventures. They provide navigation, ensure safety, and educate participants about the environment, wildlife, and local history. Guides assess trail conditions, assist with gear, and offer first aid if needed. Their goal is to create a safe, enjoyable, and informative outdoor experience for hikers of all skill levels.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a hiking guide?

To thrive as a Hiking Guide, you need strong navigation skills, knowledge of local flora and fauna, and physical endurance, typically supported by outdoor safety training and certifications in first aid or wilderness survival. Proficiency in using GPS devices, maps, compasses, and communication radios is highly valuable, along with certifications from organizations such as the Red Cross or Wilderness First Responder. Exceptional communication, group leadership, and problem-solving abilities help guides manage diverse groups and ensure a positive experience. These skills and qualities are essential for maintaining group safety, creating enjoyable adventures, and responding effectively to emergencies in outdoor settings.

What challenges can a hiking guide expect to face on the job?

Hiking Guides often face unpredictable weather, changing trail conditions, and the varying physical abilities of group members. Keeping everyone safe and engaged requires flexibility, quick decision-making, and the ability to adapt plans on the fly. Additionally, guides frequently work irregular hours, including weekends and holidays, and may need to handle emergencies calmly in remote locations. However, overcoming these challenges can be very rewarding for those passionate about the outdoors and helping others enjoy nature responsibly.

This internship offers the opportunity to help conduct field research in Reykjavik Iceland with one of our research teams. This expedition will focus on developing two publications:

  • Develop the first hiking trails magazine with short stories capturing the culture and environment of Iceland.
  • A naturalist guide and cultural guide website/web-app to Reykjavik and south Iceland.
