Driver Guide

WORK, LIVE & PLAY IN AORAKI / MOUNT COOK NATIONAL PARK

Aoraki Mt / cook National Park, CANTERBURY, New Zealand

We're looking for motivated Driver Guides who are passionate about providing once-in-a-lifetime experiences for our visitors, who are proactive in learning about the native flora and fauna found in the area, and who are excited to have Aoraki / Mt Cook National Park as their playground!

Our Driver Guides take visitors on fun and informative excursions in and around the Hooker and Tasman Valleys, primarily in buses and 4-wheel drive adventure vehicles so therefore it’s important for our Driver Guides to have prior guiding and professional off-road driving experience.

Our guests choose to stay with us at the Hermitage because of the unique location, amazing views, and the excellent service provided throughout their stay. Our team chooses to work with us because of the unique lifestyle in a remote location, amazing views on your doorstep, and being part of an excellent team and remote community.

• Demonstrate knowledge of the flora, fauna and natural history of the Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park.
• Daily check-in of guests departing on our tours, including the 'screening' of guests for appropriate warm clothing / footwear / health issues etc, ensuring each trip departs on time.
