Adventure Guides often plan routes, assess weather and terrain conditions, and deliver briefings and training to groups. Strong communication skills and physical fitness are essential, as is the ability to manage emergencies and maintain first aid certifications.
They may work with tourists, schools, or corporate groups, focusing on delivering memorable and safe outdoor experiences.
