AOG/Level 1 Kayak Guide

We are seeking a SKGABC certified AOG or level 1 guide to be part of our team. Coast Mountain Expeditions offers
multi-day kayaking from our lodge on Read Island, as well as lodge-based tours and day guiding from
Discovery Islands Lodge on Quadra Island. Family owned since 1987, we offer high quality,
personalized wilderness kayaking experiences.

This is a full-time position, with some scheduling flexibility. You’ll split your time between 1⁄2 day kayak
tours in the Surge Narrows area and work between our Read and Quadra Island locations. This is a
great opportunity if you’d like to do some guiding but also experience other aspects of life and work at a
remote wilderness kayak lodge. Duties at the lodge may include assisting in the kitchen (light baking &
prep), trip food packing,housekeeping, equipment organizing, and garden work.
Our ideal candidate is personable, attentive to detail, and eager to be part of a dedicated team. You’ll
receive training to further your leadership, interpretation,and technical paddling skills, including
instruction in nearby tidal rapids. Knowledge of coastal marine history and ecology is an asset;
willingness to learn is essential.

Comfortable on-site shared accommodation on Read Island is provided, as are some meals.
Transportation to/from Read Island is easy to arrange. Our ideal candidate will be enthusiastic about
living and learning from an off-grid, remote island lifestyle.

Our location is close to the famous Surge Narrows tidal rapids, and you’ll have access to a fleet of
high-performance sea kayaks to make the most of it.

Wage $23/hr
