Coach Driver - Manapouri / Doubtful Sound

Drive through a landscape that others cross the world to see - and call it your daily commute.

Doubtful Sound, the birthplace of RealNZ, is more than just a destination - it's a legacy. Since 1954, we've been sharing the magic of this remote and awe-inspiring place with visitors from around the globe. Now, we're looking for experienced and passionate coach drivers to help us continue that tradition.

As a Coach Driver, you'll be the first and last face our guests see on their journey - and you'll make it unforgettable. You'll safely navigate the steep and scenic Wilmot Pass, all while bringing the story of Doubtful Sound to life through engaging, authentic commentary. Your role is about more than just driving - it's about creating a connection between people and place.

This is a full-time, fixed-term opportunity running from November 2025 to April 2026, perfect for someone who thrives in a seasonal, adventure-filled role.

Who are we looking for?

• Someone with a Class 2 Licence and P Endorsement
• Proven coach driving experience
• A genuine passion for storytelling
• You'll need to be eligible to work in New Zealand
• Hold a valid NZ driver's licence.
• Most importantly, you'll bring a spirited personality that makes every guest feel welcome, informed, and inspired.

When's the best time to join the Real whānau? Now's good.

It keeps us on our toes and adds value and passion to our work.
