Lace up for a life change!

Exciting opportunities exist to live, work and play in World Heritage Fiordland and Mt Aspiring National Parks, working for one of the most well-known guided walking companies in New Zealand. Ultimate Hikes take great pride in providing walkers from all over the world with a unique insight into the magic of New Zealand’s wilderness, whilst endeavouring to ensure its sustainability for the future. This is your opportunity to be a part of that vision. Each year over one hundred seasonal staff are employed to maintain the high standard of service for which the company is renowned.

Employment with Ultimate Hikes would ideally suit those looking for an environmental experience, whilst sharing this with our domestic and international guests. Seasonal employment is from late-October to late-April. Positions are categorised as either being on-track or off-track (majority of which are Queenstown based). Expectations are high, but so are the rewards: remuneration is competitive and those employed to work on the tracks are provided with accommodation and meals at a nominal cost. Where else can you be paid to work in an environment that is internationally recognised for its uniqueness!

If this extraordinary opportunity sounds like it could be for you, please read carefully through our summary of positions and apply online as soon as possible to avoid disappointment!

We look forward to receiving your application and wish you the best of luck in your quest to become part of the Ultimate Hikes team.
