Coastline Algarve needs a Seasonal Stand Up Paddle and Coasteering Assistant Guide for Summer 2023.
We’re a small company based in Raposeira, Algarve on the Costa Vicentina Natural Park. And we operate mainly on the South coast between Sagres and Lagos, doing SUP tours and Coasteering (cliff jumping adventure tour) since 2013, founded by Nelson Louzeiro who is also the leading guide.
Nelson is looking for someone who is fit and comfortable in the sea and around rocks/cliffs to be his assistant guide on the tours. If you love Nature, the ocean, the coastline and sharing memorable experiences with people from all around the world, then this job is for you!
Employment from June until September (4 months). Possibility of starting in May and working until October.
We provide Accommodation in Raposeira, 5 min drive from both South and West coasts.
A typical day starts with the SUP Caves Tour and ends with our Coasteering session: for each activity we’ll be getting equipment ready, meeting clients, driving clients to the beach, teaching and guiding the tour, taking photos and videos of the clients on tour and then cleaning/storing equipment at base.
Possibility of doing client pick ups/drop offs between Lagos and Sagres (extra pay)
Other tasks when there’s no tours include making sure the equipment is ready for next time, maintenance and cleaning of the equipment, garage and vans, pick ups/drop offs. The odd job around the house.
The diversity of work we do is amazing. We work mostly with small or large groups of friends looking for adventure, couples on active holidays, individuals backpacking through Europe, stag and hen groups, families with kids… We operate on a variety of locations around the beautiful coastline, depending on the day’s conditions and the type of tour.
