Located just east of Heber City, Utah, the Provo River carves its way through the mountainous landscape of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, offering a dynamic playground for water enthusiasts. Pro Rafting Tours - Provo specializes in customized rafting and inflatable kayaking adventures that take advantage of this scenic river’s blend of placid stretches and lively riffles. The river’s watershed drops from alpine reservoirs to lower canyon valleys, providing a range of experiences from tranquil paddle sessions to adrenaline-boosting rapids, making this a standout spot for rafters of all skill levels.
Pro Rafting Tours offers a variety of trips designed to fit diverse groups and preferences. Their Private Guided Specialty Tours can be tailored for moonlight paddles or sunrise kayak-and-hike combos for those wanting an active morning start. For families or large groups, guide-assisted rafting provides structured fun and safety on the water, while self-guided options with shuttle support empower experienced paddlers to navigate the river at their own pace. Rentals of single inflatable kayaks and stand-up paddleboards (SUPs) make it easy to try the sport without committing to a full tour.
