Join Us as a Host on Lake Whakatipu's Iconic Vessels!

Step aboard two of Queenstown's most renowned vessels, the TSS Earnslaw and the Spirit of Queenstown, and become part of the magic. The TSS Earnslaw, as old as the Titanic but brimming with its own charm, transports guests to Walter Peak, while the Spirit of Queenstown offers unforgettable journeys past majestic mountains and hidden coves.

We're on the lookout for hospitality legends to deliver exceptional guest experiences on board. As a Host, you'll be at the heart of creating unforgettable experiences for our guests, delivering exceptional customer service that ensures every moment on board is truly memorable. Whether you're serving up smiles or crafting top-tier flat whites (don't worry, we'll train you if needed), your passion for hospitality will shine. You'll also play a vital role in keeping operations running smoothly, assisting with tasks like loading and unloading supplies. This is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in Queenstown's maritime heritage while gaining invaluable experience on the stunning waters of Lake Whakatipu.

Who We're Looking For:

You're eligible to work with us for at least 6 months.
You've got food and beverage experience (barista skills are a bonus, but we'll train you!).
You're a natural communicator who thrives in a team.
You're already based in Queenstown and ready to start ASAP.

What's in It for You?

Enjoy incredible staff perks! Bring a friend along to experience RealNZ's adventures for free or at a discount -think jet boating, rafting, the Te Anau Glowworm Caves, Milford and Doubtful Sound cruises, and exploring Rakiura.

Real people, real places, real experiences. Welcome to the Real Office.

When's the best time to join the Real whānau? Now's good.

We're the conservation business that's enabled by tourism. We're helping the world, one guest at a time, fall in love with conservation. We're inspiring people to leave their places in better conditions than when they found them. We channel a guest-centric approach that fuels our genuine promise to deliver Aotearoa's most unforgettable experiences.

It's our office environment that makes careers at RealNZ more exciting than the regular job. Working for Real could mean you're based anywhere between a secluded island, a scenic fiord, and a snow-capped maunga. Our people, places, and workdays are a great and diverse mixture. It keeps us on our toes and adds value and passion to our work.
