FAQ

Most clients drive themselves to our meet point on the river (map & directions here). After the trip, we shuttle you back to your car at the put-in - included in the price. Round-trip transportation to and from Park City is available if arranged ahead of time (call to book, not online): $35 per passenger, $185 minimum. Uber/Lyft is not recommended due to lack of return-trip options.

If you don’t want to break it, lose it, or get it wet, leave it in the car. You may bring items at your own risk (guides have dry bags for storage). UOA provides complimentary photos of each group if you leave your phone.

We collect keys and keep them safe while you’re on the river.

Browse our trips and book online from the trip page. If you’d rather text or call, we’re at 1-801-703-3357 - share your name, the trip you want, the date, the time slot (9am–noon or 1pm–4pm), and how many people. We’ll confirm by text, call, or email.

Tipping is appreciated but never expected. Average tips run $20–$40 per guide; some give more, some less.

About 40 minutes from most of Park City. From the Deer Valley area, closer to 50 minutes. From Salt Lake City, about an hour. View the directions and map here.

Yes - we take kids as young as 2, and it’s a hit with grandparents too.

Wear synthetic clothing that dries quickly, a swimsuit underneath, a hat, and sunglasses (we can provide a “river-crafted” croakie for eyewear). Closed-toe water shoes or sandals with heel straps work best - flip-flops are higher risk to lose.

Each boat has an experienced guide who runs through a safety briefing at the start of the tour. We provide rafts, paddles, PFDs (life jackets), water, snacks, and a shuttle ride back to the put-in and your car at the end.

Occasionally, but it’s rare - usually when someone’s not paying attention.

There’s always a chance, but it’s highly unlikely on this section of the river.

We’ll make every effort to meet your needs. Get in touch and let us know your situation so we can plan ahead.

Yes - all raft trips are by reservation only. Book online from the Weber River Rafting page, or call 1-801-703-3357.

You’ll sign waivers when you arrive at the river put-in.

We shuttle you from the take-out back to your car at the put-in - included.

About 90 to 120 minutes on the water depending on seasonal flows. Faster, higher water in May–June; slower, gentler floats later in the summer.

Single tubes (ages 12+), double tubes (ages 8+ with an adult). Strong-swimmer recommended. For weaker swimmers or younger kids, a guided raft trip is the better option - same canyon, more guide oversight.

Yes. We require everyone to wear a PFD (life jacket), but you should be comfortable in the water in case you fall off your tube - which happens occasionally on the busier sections.

Swimsuit, quick-dry layers, water shoes or sandals with heel straps (no flip-flops - they'll get lost), a hat, sunscreen, and a waterproof bag if you're bringing your phone. Sunglasses with a strap recommended.

Our private parking area on the Provo River, 3702 East Provo Canyon Road, Provo, UT 84604 - about an hour from Park City. Check in, get fitted with a PFD, and we shuttle you upriver to the put-in.

On weekdays, shuttles leave every hour from 10am to 4pm. On busy summer weekends in July and August, shuttles run every 30 minutes. You float back to your car at our take-out.

Spring runoff (May–June) can push flows past safe tubing levels. When that happens we'll proactively reschedule you, upgrade you to a raft or kayak, or refund - your call.

Please save it for after. Alcohol and cold mountain water are a dangerous combination, and excessive drinking on the river is unsafe for you and other floaters.

Pack out everything you pack in - wrappers, cans, anything that came with you. The Provo stays beautiful because everyone treats it that way. Be courteous to other floaters, give faster tubers room to pass, and keep noise reasonable so the canyon stays the canyon.

Cancellations need 24 hours' notice for a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours of your trip are charged in full.

Aire Tributary inflatable kayaks - paddlers call them "Duckies." Stable enough for first-time paddlers, maneuverable enough to be fun in the rapids. Solo or tandem options.

No - our guided tour handles the on-water instruction. Your guide is in the group with you the whole way and adapts the run to the group's comfort level.

Our private launch in Henefer, UT, coords 41.0072, -111.4791 - about 30–45 minutes from Park City, an hour from Salt Lake City. The launch is below Echo Reservoir on the Weber River.

Class II–III. Small drops through the technical Rock Garden, then Taggart Falls - the highlight of the run. Cold water, real current. Not the right pick if you've never been on moving water (book the guided tour first).

About 2 hours on the water for the 9.5-mile run, depending on flows. Plan ~4 hours total including the drive to launch, gear-up, run, and shuttle back.

Kayak, paddle, PFD, a guide alongside the group, brief safety instruction, water and snacks, and the shuttle back to your car at the put-in.

Swimsuit or quick-dry shorts, a synthetic shirt (no cotton), closed-toe water shoes or sandals with heel straps, hat, sunglasses with a strap, sunscreen, and a towel + dry change of clothes for after.

Spring snowmelt (May–early July) makes for higher, faster water - bigger waves, more pushy paddle. Later summer the river drops and the run gets gentler.

Not at all. If you can walk, you can snowshoe. Your guide handles instruction, picks the route, and adapts the pace to the group.

We pace ourselves and pick loops based on your group. Snowshoeing is low impact and easy on old injuries or joints - you don't have to hike far to enjoy the views. Tell us up front about any concerns and your guide will adjust.

Meet point is shared in your booking confirmation - it varies by trail and conditions on the day. We pick safe, accessible terrain based on the snowpack and avalanche outlook. Call 1-801-703-3357 if you need it ahead of time.

Snowshoes, trekking poles, an experienced winter guide, hot drinks and trail snacks, and transportation from the meet point to the trailhead.

Warm layers (avoid cotton), a waterproof outer shell, insulated waterproof boots, hat, gloves, and sunglasses. Bring a water bottle. The high-altitude winter sun is intense even in February - sunscreen too.

Avalanche-aware route selection is part of the guide's job. We check daily conditions and the Utah Avalanche Center forecast before every tour, and we choose routes appropriate to the day's hazard.

Yes - $105/person (2-guest minimum) or $165 solo. Same routes, guaranteed your group only, easier scheduling. Book the standard tour ($90/pp) if you don't mind being paired with another small group.

Yes - those aren't on the calendar; contact us to arrange. The trails after dusk feel different - quiet, lit by the snow itself. Memorable.

All ages welcome. Kids who can walk a half-mile loop in winter clothing typically have a great time. Tell us their ages when you book and we'll pick a kid-friendly route.
