A Love for Adventure Travel: We are the Adventure specialists and we only hire CEOs who have a genuine passion for travelling to vibrant, exciting areas of the world.Our CEOs come from very diverse backgrounds, but this is one thing that they all have in common. Previous experience living, travelling, studying or working abroad is an essential requirement for this position.
Language skills: All of G Adventures tours are operated in English so a good command of the English language is mandatory. The region specific language is also very important. This helps ensure we maintain excellent relations between the company, the people we meet and work with in the field and the travellers on our trips.
Excellent Leadership and Communication Skills: We look for people who have experience in leadership roles, with a proven ability to communicate effectively in a wide range of contexts.
Resourcefulness: We need CEOs who have a good head on their shoulders, who can remain calm and collected under unpredictable and stressful circumstances. Our CEOs need to be able to take decisive action to resolve problems as they arise.
Awareness of and Commitment to Sustainable Tourism: Our CEOs need to be committed to environmentally and culturally responsible tourism, and be an inspiring example to the travelers.
Good Health and High Energy Level: It may seem obvious but we need CEOs who can always handle the daily stresses, both mental and physical, of long and tiring days. Be it a 13-hour bus ride, a long day's trek with a difficult group of travellers, or an included rafting adventure, you need to be the friendly, happy, helpful face of G Adventures.
First Aid/CPR Certification: CEOs must be prepared to act in case of emergency. Standard First Aid Certification and CPR are required at the start of a contract to ensure your ability to assist with injuries, illness, or emergency in remote locations.
Transportation to your training location: It is the CEO's responsibility to get him or herself to the starting point of the training trip.

We’ve always believed that travel isn’t just about where you go — it’s about how it changes you.
From the very beginning, we set out to do things differently. No cookie-cutter tours. No giant buses or cruise ships. Just real people, venturing out into the world with open minds, open hearts, and a sense of purpose.
For over 35 years, we’ve been creating life-changing experiences that connect travellers with the communities they visit — not just passing through, but showing up with care, curiosity, and intention. We call it community tourism, and it’s been in our DNA since day one.
But we’re not just a travel company. We’re a people company. Powered by the passion of our team, the heartbeat of our local partners, and the energy of every traveller who’s ever said “yes” to something new.
To travel your heart out is to go all in. To move through the world with compassion, courage, and joy. It’s about embracing the bizarre, celebrating the beautiful, and connecting with something bigger than yourself. It means leading with love — for the planet, for people, and for the possibilities that come with saying let’s go.
We don’t do this to fill passports. We do it to fill lives. To build connection. To create joy. To leave the world better than we found it — one step, one trip, one ripple at a time.
This is travel that goes way beyond travelling. This is G Adventures. And we’re just getting started.
