Naturalist Sea Kayak Guide
Short Description
As a Naturalist Sea Kayak Guide with Sea Quest Kayak Tours, you’ll lead small groups on paddling adventures through the spectacular San Juan Islands, one of the best wildlife-viewing destinations in North America. Your role blends outdoor leadership, natural history interpretation, and guest care. You’ll introduce participants to the area’s rich marine ecosystem, including orcas, seals, porpoises, bald eagles, and diverse intertidal life, while sharing knowledge of local geology, cultural history, and conservation. Guides are responsible for ensuring safety on the water, providing paddling instruction, and creating an inclusive, engaging environment for all skill levels. This position is ideal for those who are passionate about nature, comfortable in dynamic marine conditions, and able to communicate clearly and enthusiastically. You’ll spend your days outside on the water, fostering connections between people and the environment, and leaving guests with lasting memories of the San Juan Islands’ beauty and biodiversity.
