River Guide Jobs with Northwest Rafting Company
We recognize that guides are the most important factor in providing safe, professional and fun river trips. Our trips are a social event as much as they are a wilderness or whitewater adventure, and guides are the catalysts. Guides set the tone. We want the best.
You must truly enjoy sharing rivers and wild places with others.

If you are patient and this sounds interesting to you, please let us know and we’ll find an upcoming trip you can join.
