What is the difference between Raft Manager vs Guide?

AspectRaft ManagerGuide
CertificationsCPR, First Aid, Rafting Safety CertificationsCPR, First Aid, Rafting Safety Certifications
Work EnvironmentTeam management, safety oversight, operational planningLeading groups, safety instruction, on-water guiding
Industry UsageUsed in commercial rafting companies for overseeing operationsUsed by individual guides leading trips

The Raft Manager and Guide roles both require safety certifications and operate within the rafting industry. The Raft Manager focuses on overseeing operations, managing staff, and ensuring safety protocols are followed, often working behind the scenes. In contrast, the Guide directly leads trips, instructs clients, and navigates the water. Both roles are essential for a successful rafting business, but they differ mainly in responsibilities and scope of work.

Job description

Wet Planet is looking for experienced paddle raft guides to join our team on the Class III-IV White Salmon River!

Our team enjoys making it possible for guests to experience the beauty of the Pacific Northwest and gain an appreciation for our natural environment through half-day and full-day paddle raft trips on the Northwest's classic Wild and Scenic White Salmon River. With continuous, technical Class III-IV whitewater, it is essential that our day trip raft guides prioritize guest care and risk management to create seamless experiences for guests. As the face of Wet Planet, our guides enjoy working with a team of fellow river professionals to make sure our guests have amazing experiences out on the river.

The bulk of our day trips are Class III-IV paddle rafting on the White Salmon River. Due to the technical nature of the White Salmon, all guides we hire must have previous guiding experience on Class III-IV. In addition to the White Salmon, we offer day trips on the Class III Klickitat River, Class III Tieton River, Class IV Hood River, and Class V Wind River. Our guides enjoy this variety and the opportunity to hone their skills and guide Class IV/V if desired. Kayakers enjoy the opportunity to support kayak on small trips and Class V trips.

Wet Planet

Each year, many of our guests and team members return to enjoy the abundance of beautiful rivers we raft and kayak in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Our headquarters is located on the banks of the White Salmon River in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge, surrounded by a whitewater paradise and an incredible community of boaters. It's the perfect location for raft guides and kayakers to work and play in the Pacific Northwest.

Qualifications & Experience:

  • Previous commercial paddle raft guiding experience on Class III whitewater at a minimum; Class IV experience preferred
  • Professional appearance, excellent communication skills, and team player
  • You love guiding rafts and sharing the river with guests, including your knowledge on natural and human history
  • You prioritize guest care and risk management
  • Current First Aid & CPR required at a minimum; Wilderness First Responder preferred
  • Current River Rescue Certification preferred (Sierra Rescue, ACA Swiftwater, or equivalent)

Day Trip Season: We offer day trips from April 1-September 30.

Availability:

  • Full-time, full season: Mid-May (or earlier) through September
  • Full-time, peak season: June-August
  • Part-time, peak season: June-August

Many of our staff combine work in multiple disciplines and enjoy the variety of work throughout the season. For those with skills in paddle rafting, rowing, and/or kayaking, work is available from April to September by combining day trips, multi-day trips, and kayak instruction.

Wet Planet Perks:

  • Access to free trips and courses as well as discounted professional training (river rescue courses, medical courses, ACA instructor course, etc.)
  • Cross-training for other job areas & opportunities within Wet Planet
  • Discounts on food, drinks, and merchandise in the Wet Planet store and espresso bar
  • Industry Pro Purchase Program
  • Free rafting and kayak courses for friends & family
  • Access to local housing options
  • Accrued Sick Leave
  • Retirement plan after two years of employment

Compensation:

  • $85-195 per trip, based on certifications, experience, role, and type of trip (half-day or full-day, first year guide to Senior Trip Leader with all required experience, trainings and certifications)
  • Simple IRA savings plan option after 2 years

Combine your desire to play outside with your professional skillset and experience - join our team!
