Does transporting manuhiri (guests) for one of Ngāi Tahu Tourism's most spectacular ventures, The Hollyford Track - Fiordland National Park, sound like a great day in the office for you?

Do you have a passion for connecting with people? Are you friendly and welcoming and enjoy a good yarn from time to time? And do you have the get up and go to make an unforgettable experience for each one of your manuhiri? If the answer is YES, then this is the job for you

The Job


We are seeking an energetic Coach Driver to join the Hollyford team to safely drive manuhiri to the unparalleled landscape of Fiordland and Milford Sound.

Day - Queenstown to Te Anau approximately 2.00pm - 6.30pm (Accommodation and Meal provided in Te Anau)

This position will commence at the beginning of October 2023 and continue through until the end of April 2024.

The Requirements
Ideally you will hold a Class 2 License + P Endorsement, with a clean driving record.

However, if you don't have the required licences but are passionate about driving then don't despair, we're also happy to train you To be successful in this role, you will need to be a confident driver who can engage with manuhiri and keep them informed along the way.

Additionally, you will be a team player who can manage baggage and deliver a high calibre experience.


Health and Safety is super important and an essential part of how we keep you, our team and our customers/guests safe.

Before starting with us, you will go through a range of checks, including drug and alcohol testing.

About Us
Hollyford Valley Walks offers a 4-day guided experience into the spectacular Hollyford Valley in Fiordland National Park. This is one of Aotearoa's most unforgettable experiences


The Hollyford Track experience is certainly not your usual walk in the park - it takes our manuhiri down the Hollyford Valley following the path of Māori and early Europeans alike, by foot, jet boat and helicopter.

We offer our guests small interactive groups, personalised service, first-rate cuisine and private lodges along the way.

Not only will you be an integral part of one of NZ's largest tourism operators, but you'll also be well remunerated
