Experienced Raft Guide

Each year ROW seeks to hire a few experienced guides to join our summer guide staff in guiding single and/or multi-day whitewater rafting trips on some of the most beautiful wild rivers in Idaho like the Lochsa, Snake, Salmon and St Joe. ROW guides are a fun-loving, thoughtful and talented group of people with a tremendous passion for the natural world. As much as we love boating, we love sharing nature with our guests even more. Guiding for ROW can be hard work, full of long hours in often physically demanding situations. Yet we find it immensely rewarding to enrich lives through memorable outdoor adventures. To do so, ROW hires guides who are committed to excellence in hospitality and safety, provide meaningful interpretation to guests, support conservation efforts, desire to grow and learn, and who seek to set the high water mark in their professional and personal lives.
