Guides
As a major factor to the success of the business and enjoyment of our customers, Canyoning.co.nz are looking for exceptional guides who deliver safe and enjoyable canyoning experiences.

While previous canyon guiding experience is desirable, we do offer full training to the right candidate. Applicants with ropes, white water, first aid training, and previous outdoor guiding experience are preferred.

In order to give the best customer experience possible our guides need to have more than just the technical capabilities. Positive, happy guides that make people feel safe and at ease when helping them overcome a personal challenge can MAKE the experience. Because of this, soft skills and the ability to adapt to people's individual needs are a must.

Guides also drive our customers to and from the canyon so a P Endorsement (New Zealand Passenger Licence) is desirable. We recommend applying for the passenger licence early if this is something you're considering.

If you think this is you, get in touch!

Photographers
For safety reasons our customers are not allowed to bring their own cameras into the canyon so you are responsible for capturing their experience throughout the canyon, in and out of the water.

Canyoning experience is not necessary, our guides will teach you how to abseil/rappel and move safely through the canyon with your camera. Customer service, sales skills, and the ability to entertain are key to this position.

We are looking for talented photographers that have their own SLR camera with manual settings and video capabilities.
