Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology

Can you see yourself guiding visitors in adventure activities in New Zealand’s beautiful wilderness areas? With this programme you’ll work closely with adventure tourism operators to enable you to become a guide in the adventure tourism industry.

There are one, two or three year study options to choose from. Graduates from the first year will be able to work in a supporting role in an adventure operation. Graduating from the second year you will have the skills of a junior guide and from the third year you will have completed industry tickets in the skill area of their choice such as rafting or sea kayaking. Part time study options are also available.

Our programmes are developed in response to industry needs and our tutors’ personal experience as adventure tourism guides, operations managers and company owners.

Living a vibrant, relaxed lifestyle in Nelson is the icing on the cake – beaches bordering the city, three national parks and the highest sunshine hours in New Zealand make this region one of the country’s most popular adventure tourism destinations.

Students from all around the world come to study adventure tourism at NMIT. You’ll make friends with people from many different backgrounds and nationalities.
