Tour Guide - Wellington
Has the change in Govt affected your employment? Has your film industry work dried up for the year? Worked at DOC or love the forests and marine life? A job opportunity in tourism waits.
Holidays are expensive, so what better way to spend the summer than showcasing Wellington to our many international customers and having a great time doing it.
The Wanderlust Tourism Group is one of biggest and best tour operators here in Wellington and this is your opportunity to join us for the summer season and maybe beyond.
We run full day and half day Lord of the Rings tours around the Wellington region and have done since there was such a thing.

Discover Wellington is the brand that hosts city tours.
These are 3 of our main brands but we also run other tours in the region.
We need guides for our Lord the Rings tours. These are half day and full day tours and a level of knowledge and passion for the movies is of great advantage. Preferably you will have prior training or experience in film or production and can bring your knowledge to the role.
The Seal Coast 4 x 4 seal colony tours showcase NZ’s natural beauty and travel through rural farms before the big finish at the seal colony. A love of nature and the Marine environment is a must and preferably experience driving 4 x 4 vehicles would be handy.
Discover Wellington showcases we we sometimes seems to forget that Wellington is a great little city with coastlines, forests, culture, food and a great compact nature.
