Part-Time UTV Tour Guide (Flexible Schedule)

Highlands Aerial Park

Job Description

Job Description

Now Hiring: Flexible, Part-Time UTV Tour Guides

Looking for a flexible, part-time role where you can work outdoors, connect with people, and create meaningful experiences—without committing to a fixed schedule?

At Highlands Aerial Park, our UTV tours are more than just a ride. They are 90-minute guided experiences that blend adventure, storytelling, and education—covering the ecology, history, geology, and unique character of our mountain environment.

We’re looking for individuals who enjoy engaging with people, reading the room, and creating a memorable experience for every group.

This role is ideal for someone who wants flexible, supplemental work—especially retirees or those looking to stay active and engaged.

What Makes This Role Unique
  • Extremely flexible scheduling—you choose the days you’re available
  • You are only scheduled when tours are booked on your available days
  • No fixed weekly schedule or minimum hours
  • Great supplemental income opportunity
  • Lower time commitment compared to traditional part-time roles
  • Work outdoors in a beautiful mountain environment
  • Opportunity to create meaningful, memorable guest experiences

What This Role Looks Like

As a UTV Tour Guide, you’ll lead guests on guided, 90-minute off-road experiences through scenic terrain.

Your role goes beyond simply driving—you’ll:

  • Share stories and insights about the land
  • Educate guests on local ecology, history, and geology
  • Read each group and tailor the experience to their interests
  • Create a balance of fun, learning, and connection

The most successful guides are those who can adapt their approach, connect with different personalities, and make each tour feel personal and engaging.

Quick Snapshot
  • Lead guided UTV tours through scenic mountain terrain
  • Blend entertainment with education and storytelling
  • Flexible, on-demand scheduling based on your availability
  • Full training provided (no prior guiding experience required)
  • Opportunity to grow into additional roles if desired
  • Pay structure reviewed during the interview process

Note: The salary range shown is required by job boards. This role is flexible and scheduled based on bookings, so actual earnings vary depending on availability and demand.

What You’ll Do
  • Lead and supervise guided UTV tours
  • Provide clear safety instructions and operational guidance
  • Share engaging, educational content about the local environment
  • Adapt your approach based on guest interests and group dynamics
  • Create a fun, safe, and memorable experience for every group
  • Assist with preparing vehicles and equipment
  • Support general operations as needed

Schedule & Availability
  • You choose the days you are available to work
  • You will only be scheduled when tours are booked on those days
  • Work volume varies by season:
    • Spring & Fall: lighter, less frequent
    • Summer & Peak periods: more consistent opportunities
  • Ideal for those seeking flexible, supplemental income

What We’re Looking For
  • Friendly, engaging, and personable
  • Strong communication and storytelling ability
  • Comfortable speaking to and leading small groups
  • Observant and able to “read the room” and adjust accordingly
  • Calm, confident, and safety-focused
  • Reliable, punctual, and self-motivated
  • Enjoy being outdoors and interacting with people

Requirements

  • Must be at least 18 years old with a valid driver’s license
  • Clean driving record (required for insurance purposes)
  • Comfortable operating off-road vehicles (training provided)
  • Comfortable being outdoors and active for extended periods
  • Must be able to communicate clearly with guests and team members
  • Must be reliable and able to work independently

Benefits

Why Join Our Team?
  • Work Outside Every Day – Fresh air, mountain views, and an active work environment
  • Great Team Culture – Supportive, high-energy crew that works hard and has fun
  • Strong Earning Potential – Commission-based pay with tips on every tour
  • Opportunities to Grow – Clear path to leadership roles and increased earning potential
  • Free & Discounted Experiences – Enjoy the park and share it with friends and family
  • Learn Valuable Skills – Leadership, communication, safety, and guest experience
  • Not Your Typical Job – Every day is different, fast-paced, and engaging
  • Strong Earning Potential – Commission-based pay with tips on every tour; great service gets rewarded
