How do I become a boat tour guide for tourist?

Question

It has always been my dream job to be one of those guys who take tourists on their boat out to go on a snorkeling trip, hiking, or maybe deep sea fishing. How can I get started on making that my career of choice?

Answer 1

First move into an area that features one or more of these trips.  Then shop around for someone looking for a guide.  You obviously should have some type of expertise in one or more of these areas.  In many cases these guides work for short money, and rely upon the tourists for tips.
