Trekking Guide Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last five seasons guiding groups through varied terrain and changing conditions, helping itineraries stay on track while keeping participants safe. On a recent six day trek in the ranges I used a standard safety check that covers equipment, weather, and route hazards, and it noticeably cut last minute issues by about a third. I value clear briefings and steady leadership that keeps everyone focused on the next checkpoint rather than the weather. I can lead groups, supervise equipment setup, and check gear for safety and functionality. I’m comfortable teaching map reading and navigation, and I’ve built routines for hazard identification, risk minimisation, and after action notes for the team. I’ve also worked closely with local guides and support staff to ensure communications and introductions run smoothly from arrival to the final briefing. A memorable moment was coordinating a mid trek response when a participant injured an ankle near a river crossing. I reassessed the route, allocated a safe assist, administered basic first aid, and updated the daily activity report for [Company Name]. The group stayed calm, we completed the trek with a revised plan, and I debriefed the team on what we learned about emergency response and local terrain. I’m keen to bring practical, calm leadership to [Company Name]. I’m available to discuss how my approach to planning, safety checks, and customer service can fit with your team and local tours. Kind regards, [Your Name]
