# You have sea leadership experience. You have experience leading sea touring trips in open water environments, equivalent of BCU Level 3 Sea kayak leader certificate or ACA Level 3 kayaking skills
# You can own the entire client journey beyond adventure guiding. Our operations are well-oiled but you are the one who makes fine tunes organizes detailed itineraries and makes sure of 100% alignment with all suppliers (accommodation, food, etc.).
# You have a valid first-aid certificate.
# You have a driver's license. You feel comfortable driving a van on narrow island roads.
# Excellent fitness level. A 6-hour activity day on a warm summer day should be your thing.
# You are motivated and driven. You volunteer for new challenges without waiting to be asked. You take ownership of the time spent with us to make a difference.
# Your communication skills (in English, obviously) are first-string. You will be talking to a lot of fascinating people from around the world. It would be a shame not to contribute to such conversations.
