Kayak class II+ rapids on the Weber River with a guide
2 - 2.5 hours
Guide, gear, river shuttle
Paddle an inflatable kayak down the Weber River on a guided run from Henefer to Taggart. You’ll get a safety talk, gear, and tips as you take on class II+ rapids.
Suggested for intermediate or more advanced paddlers. Single kayaks require age 12+; children ages 4–11 may ride in front of a tandem kayak with an experienced paddler. An extra guide fee of $150 applies if a child goes in a tandem kayak with a guide, and tips are not included (15%–25% customary).
Small private groups: full refund with 7 days' notice. Full refund if the operator cancels due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. No-shows, late arrivals, and cancellations within 7 days are non-refundable. Large/corporate/custom: 50% refundable up to 7 days before the trip.
Arrive 30 minutes before your trip start time so you can check in, get fitted with a life jacket and paddle, and attend the safety talk. Late arrivals are usually not accommodated and are non-refundable.
Wear lightweight, quick-drying clothes (long sleeves and long pants or capris are recommended) and water sandals (closed-toe recommended) or old athletic shoes; avoid flip-flops. Bring a hat, sunglasses, a full non-breakable water bottle with a clip, any needed medications (and tell your guide), and layers like a rain jacket or fleece depending on conditions. Leave most items in your car since anything you bring on the river can get wet, lost, or broken.
Tips are not included; 15%–25% gratuity is customary. For groups of 6 or more, optional add-ons include transportation and meal options (each priced separately). If a child ages 4–11 rides in a tandem kayak with a guide, an extra guide fee of $150 applies.
Henefer
With a near-perfect rating across hundreds of reviews, this outfitter has clearly built a loyal following around the Weber River area. Guides like Trixie, Devin, Dawna, and Sofie come up repeatedly by name, which says a lot about the quality and consistency of the team. Reviewers highlight their knowledge of local history, wildlife, and flora, and several mention being spotted bald eagles and learning about everything from old mining towns to rock formations along the way. Beyond the guided experiences, the operation runs smoothly from start to finish. Reservations are easy, equipment rentals are hassle-free, and the staff is responsive when questions come up. A few reviewers noted that water levels can affect how exciting the rapids are, which is worth keeping in mind when planning, though most still had a great time regardless. The trips seem genuinely accessible for a wide range of ages and skill levels, including first-timers.
Our family of 6 just went on a rafting trip on the Weber River from Henefer to Taggart, with Trixie as our guide. Trixie is very experienced, confident, and gave clear directions to help us navigate the river successfully. We had so much fun, plus, she took some great family photos of us while on the river. "I like it, I like it!!"
