We have recently expanded to the East Coast on select tours as well - making us a coast-to-coast tour company! This is a driver/guide position with responsibilities including driving 7 passenger & 15 passenger vans depending on the group size.

You should have strong leadership and motivational skills, have a passion for the outdoors, be able to multitask and possess exceptional people skills.

We provide a mix of lodging, glamping and camping tours. Our east coast tours for select brands include, but are not limited to the Deep South, East Coast and Midwest as well as special interest tours such as wildlife, food/spirits, photography, biking etc.

With over 25 years of combined experience in the industry, we pride ourselves in having a variety of highly professional guides, top-notch equipment and exciting and off the beaten path itineraries.

This is a demanding, exciting, challenging and rewarding position which requires people who have a passion for the outdoors both on and off the road.

We are accepting applications with no previous guide experience - rather a deep interest in the outdoors, customer service and starting a position with adventure on the road, AND also looking for professional guides who have been in the industry with prior experience. We work with many different types of guests/brands and are looking to expand our guide pool to fit the needs of our tours.
