Your natural hosting skills and your love of the great outdoors is evident in your high level of customer service. From helping in the galley to serving people drinks to guiding kayaks, this role is perfect for people who revel in variety. If you are a person who likes their day to be a hive of activity, covering an array of activities while maintaining scrupulous attention to detail, then join the busy crew aboard the overnight boats in Doubtful Sound!

  • Helping with stores - loading and unloading supplies
  • Aiding with daily water activities (kayaking or swimming)

We are looking for someone who has :

  • A strong background in hospitality
  • A passion for people and the outdoors (in particular being out on the water)
  • Muscles! You will need to be fit and capable of heavy lifting
  • What do you get out of this?

  • Full time work with guaranteed hours for a fixed term period
  • Freeaccommodation and food while you are working
  • Some amazing staff benefits - take a friend for free with you to explore some of RealNZ\'s most memorable experiences - rafting, Te Anau Glowworm Caves, Milford and Doubtful Sound, Rakiura. What an awesome opportunity to explore out back yard without spending a fortune!
  • Bragging rights for having one of the most beautiful work environments in the world
  • Who are we?

    We are real people in real places delivering real experiences.

    Enabled by tourism, our vision is to be a leading conservation business. We are committed to the future of sustainable tourism while honouring our past. Our guest centric attitude is fuelled by our promise to deliver Aotearoa\'s most unforgettable experiences.

    Here at RealNZ we encourage people to be themselves, respect the environments we operate in and respect each other. We are committed to empowering people, so they can have a voice, be heard and be present.

    Our people and our experiences stretch across our most remote islands and fiords to our snow-capped maunga; we are a diverse group of people, and our passion to share incredible environments and experiences with guests drives us every day. Join us on our mission to conserve nature, share our history and culture and have fun every step of the way.
