Outdoor Adventure Guide (No Experience Required)

Job Description

Now Hiring for Spring & Summer 2026!

Get paid to work outdoors, meet awesome people, and create unforgettable experiences in the mountains.

At Highlands Aerial Park, we don’t just run zipline tours—we create fun, memorable, and meaningful adventures for our guests every day. We’re looking for energetic, outgoing individuals who enjoy working with people, being outside, and being part of a high-performing team.

No prior experience? No problem. We’ll train you to be awesome.

As an Outdoor Adventure Guide, you’ll lead and support a variety of experiences throughout the park. Our guides are cross-trained across multiple attractions, creating a dynamic and engaging work environment where no two days are the same.

You may guide or assist with:

• Zipline tours
• UTV (side-by-side) guided tours
• Aerial attractions, including a giant swing and tree climbs
• Kids and family adventure courses

This is a high-energy, guest-facing role where your attitude, communication, and ability to create a great experience matter just as much as your technical skills.

• Work outdoors in the mountains in a fun, fast-paced environment
• Lead and support multiple types of adventure experiences
• Flexible, booking-based schedule (not a traditional 9–5)
• No experience required – full training provided
• Earn through commission-based pay and tips on every tour; exceptional guest experiences are often rewarded generously
• Additional hourly pay may be available for operational and support duties
• Clear path for growth, increased responsibility, and higher earnings
• Full pay structure is reviewed during the interview process

• Lead and assist guests through safe, fun, and engaging adventure experiences
• Create a positive, memorable experience for every guest
• Clearly communicate instructions, expectations, and safety guidelines
• Support team members and help maintain smooth tour flow
• Assist with daily operations, including opening/closing duties and general park upkeep
• Adapt to different roles and responsibilities throughout the day
• Represent the park with professionalism, energy, and enthusiasm

• This is not a traditional 9–5 role—hours vary based on bookings and seasonality
• Some days are longer, some are shorter
• When not booked on tours, time may be yours or used for additional duties
• Weekend and holiday availability is required
• Flexible training and scheduling available based on your availability

• Positive, outgoing personality with strong communication skills
• Enjoy working with people in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment
• Reliable, adaptable, and willing to take initiative
• Comfortable working outdoors in all types of weather
• Ability to stay engaged, present, and professional throughout the day
• Willingness to learn, grow, and take on new challenges
• Interest in creating great guest experiences—not just “doing the job.”

Requirements

• Must be at least 18 years old for guide roles (younger applicants may be considered for other positions)
• Must be able to work weekends and holidays
• Comfortable being active (walking, hiking, standing for extended periods, working at heights)
• Able to communicate clearly and confidently with guests and team members
• Must be reliable, punctual, and team-oriented
• Must be able to complete and pass training requirements

Benefits

• Work Outside Every Day – Fresh air, mountain views, and an active work environment
