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

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

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
