Working as a Sea Kayak Guide is a fun and rewarding experience! Guides often have the opportunity to travel, work with a variety of ages and skills levels, and help to create lasting memories.
Outdoor Adventures' Sea Kayak Guides have completed formal training and hold a certification form the American Canoe Association. While other companies may not require certification or completion of a skills course, we recommend that you consider such preparation in order to be a more knowledgeable, confident and safe Guide.
We recommend the following certification courses;
- ACA Coastal Kayak Instructor Course
Other useful training that will benefit you and assist you in getting a job;
- Lifeguard certification
- First Aid & CPR (we recommend Wilderness First Aid or EMT)
- Naturalist Certification or training
- Swiftwater Rescue (or other water related rescue courses)
- Knowledge or training in botany, flora & fauna, photography, wilderness survival...
