Wilderness Ireland’s guiding team play a pivotal role in the company, ensuring that our clients experience outstanding adventures throughout Ireland.
Wilderness Ireland is always keen to hear from people who can demonstrate great knowledge and passion for Ireland. Our guiding team have all been active in the outdoors for many years.

If you have the knowledge, character and experience to work for Wilderness Ireland, we would love to hear from you and can offer you an excellent wage, good working conditions and the opportunity to lead superb trips in some of the most beautiful wilderness regions of Ireland.
While we have a lot of fun at Wilderness Ireland, our team is 100% focused on delivering 5 Star world-class client experiences. As such, the successful guide will bring a professional and high-energy approach with an unwavering focus on all aspects of the client travel experience.
Wilderness Ireland, alongside its sister companies Wilderness Scotland and Wilderness England, is a company whose aim is to break new ground and set the worldwide standard for what adventure travel should be. We are passionate about providing our customers with the most inspiring experiences of their lives, ensuring our guided experiences are delivered sustainably, promoting the value of wild places, setting new standards for tourism experiences and creating a rewarding, meaningful and truly fun place to work.
We have steadily grown as an outdoor adventure company since 2014 and plan to continue this growth path, which in turn, will offer a wide range of guiding opportunities from those that are activity focused to those which take on more of a cultural or a family focus.
Being a guide for Wilderness Ireland is more than just another freelance job. It means being part of a dynamic team that are always seeking new ways in which we can improve with guide feedback highly valued and acted upon. The successful guide will thrive in this fast-paced environment and within the wider Wilderness team but will be encouraged to bring new ideas and enthusiasm to the role and the company as a whole.
