Clas Ropes Halloween Cruise on the Provo River

Clas Ropes in Provo has a ton of fun things to offer. They have a ropes course that runs year round, and a Christmas Cruise along the Provo River that we have enjoyed many times. We have even done moonlight canoeing. But one of our favorite activities is the Clas Ropes Halloween Cruise along the Provo River.

The Halloween Cruise is similar to the Christmas Cruise in that you are pulled on your boat up and down the Provo River. Instead of Christmas lights, the river is decorated with Halloween decorations and lots of carved pumpkins. The pumpkins look beautiful as they reflect on the water. They hand carve each pumpkin, and they have to carve them each week, so they go through a lot of pumpkins each year.

In 2025, Clas Ropes teamed up with Hamilton’s Halloween Treat to add all of their amazing Halloween decor to the cruise. There were a lot more decorations to enjoy as you glide down the river. We had fun picking out our favorite ones.

The highlight of the boat ride is the pirate attack. Our boys thought it was so fun that the pirate tried to spook us, and zip lined across the river. They really enjoyed the corny jokes the pirate told as she rowed toward our boat. Luckily, she didn’t steal any valuables!

For the rest of your cruise, your captain will share silly pirate jokes and ask for everyone to learn how to be a pirate. We love the reflecting lights on the water, and the fun atmosphere our boats always have.

We went earlier in the evening, but this cruise might be better later so that it’s dark. The lights would really sparkle on the water that way. But the pirate attack might be a little spookier for little ones. You can watch our video to see what it’s like.

While you wait for your cruise to start, there is a Halloween movie playing. There are also concessions available for purchase before or after the cruise.

The cruise is simple, but fun. Our boys enjoyed looking at each of the jack-o-lanterns and the pirate attack. And all of the new decorations makes it a lot of fun! If you are looking for a non-scary Halloween adventure, you will enjoy the Clas Ropes Halloween Cruise.
