Experience Required: Prior to guiding passenger trips through the Grand Canyon, 6 trips down the Grand Canyon, 3 of which piloting your own craft must be fulfilled to meet both Park Service and AzRA regulations.

Availability Expectations: Due to the nature of our business, we are looking for candidates who can commit to an open and flexible schedule. This includes being available for the entire guiding season not just the spring and fall. To increase employment opportunities, we maintain a candidate pool to fill potential vacancies arising from guide cancellations. Resumes will be retained for one year. Applicants should indicate their availability to accommodate schedule changes.

*AzRA does not offer entry-level guiding positions. Individuals with limited or no boating experience are encouraged to gain proficiency through white-water rafting courses and guiding shorter trips on lower-class rivers.
