A Group Travel Guide to Provo, Utah's Best Destinations

Brigham Young University (BYU) Campus

As one of the largest private universities in the United States, Brigham Young University is the heartbeat of Provo. Groups flock here year-round for campus tours, academic conferences, Education Week, and cultural performances at the Harris Fine Arts Center. Navigating the sprawling campus can be daunting for visitors, and visitor parking lots often fill up quickly during the semester. By renting a charter bus for your prospective student tour or alumni group, you ensure that everyone arrives at the Hinckley Center or the Museum of Art together and on time. The driver can drop your group off right at the curb of your desired building and wait at a designated staging area, saving your group from long walks across campus in the heat or snow.

A charter bus is particularly useful for groups visiting the BYU Museum of Art (MOA) or the Museum of Peoples and Cultures. Educators and tour organizers can utilize the onboard PA system to brief the group on the exhibits they are about to see or conduct a headcount before departing. With ample overhead storage, students can stow their backpacks and notebooks securely while they explore the grounds. Whether you are cheering on the Cougars or attending a symposium, Charter Bus Provo provides the most efficient way to access this educational hub.

Provo Canyon & Bridal Veil Falls

Just a short drive up US-189 from downtown Provo lies one of Utah's most accessible and beautiful natural wonders: Provo Canyon. The crown jewel of the canyon is Bridal Veil Falls, a stunning double-cataract waterfall that drops 607 feet. It is a favorite spot for family reunions, wedding photography, and corporate picnics. However, the parking lot at the base of the falls is notoriously small and often overflowing, especially on weekends and holidays. Coordinating a convoy of personal cars here usually results in half your party circling for parking spots while the other half waits. A private charter bus rental eliminates this headache entirely. The driver can drop your group off at the trailhead for an easy walk to the falls and pick you up when you are done enjoying the mist and scenery.

For groups looking for more activity, the Provo River Parkway Trail runs through the canyon and offers incredible biking and walking opportunities. A charter bus can serve as a shuttle, dropping your group at Vivian Park and picking them up further down the canyon at Nunns Park. With undercarriage storage bays, our full-size charter buses have plenty of room to store picnic coolers, folding chairs, and hiking gear, ensuring you have everything you need for a day in the Wasatch Mountains without cluttering the passenger cabin.

Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum

Located on the BYU campus but deserving of its own spotlight, the Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum is a top destination for school field trips, scout troops, and science enthusiasts. The museum features extensive collections of taxidermy animals, live animal shows, and interactive exhibits on ecosystems and conservation. When transporting a busload of excited elementary school students or a youth group, comfort and organization are paramount. Charter Bus Provo offers modern, reliable buses that are a significant upgrade from the traditional yellow school bus. With climate control and comfortable seating, the ride to the museum becomes a time to relax rather than a chaotic commute.

Teachers can utilize the onboard DVD players and flat-screen monitors to show educational documentaries related to wildlife or biology while en route to the museum, turning travel time into instructional time. Plus, with a driver behind the wheel, chaperones can focus on supervising the students rather than navigating Provo traffic. We can easily coordinate with the museum for designated bus parking and drop-off zones, ensuring a seamless entry and exit for your educational group.

LaVell Edwards Stadium

There are few atmospheres in college football that rival a game day at LaVell Edwards Stadium. With the towering Y Mountain in the background and over 60,000 screaming fans, cheering on the BYU Cougars is a quintessential Provo experience. However, game day traffic on University Parkway and Canyon Road can be gridlocked for hours, and finding parking near the stadium is both difficult and expensive. For alumni associations, student groups, or large families attending the game, a charter bus rental is the ultimate game-day hack. You can load up your bus with grills, coolers, and tents in the spacious undercarriage luggage bays and enjoy a stress-free ride to the stadium.

Charter Bus Provo allows you to tailgate in style. Your group can pre-game on the bus, enjoying music and camaraderie without the worry of assigning designated drivers or splitting up into multiple vehicles. The driver will navigate the post-game traffic exodus while you relax in reclining seats, reviewing the game highlights on your phone via the onboard WiFi. Whether it’s a rivalry game against Utah or a conference showdown, we get you to the kickoff on time.

Utah Lake State Park

Utah Lake State Park offers a massive freshwater lake ideal for boating, fishing, paddle boarding, and picnicking, right in Provo’s backyard. It is a fantastic destination for large company retreats, youth camps, and community gatherings. The park features a marina, fishing harbor, and plenty of green space for group activities. Transporting a large group to the lake often involves hauling significant amounts of gear—life jackets, food supplies, sports equipment, and sunscreen. A minibus or charter bus rental from Charter Bus Provo offers the perfect solution with ample storage space for all your recreational necessities.

During the hot Utah summers, the air-conditioned cabin of a charter bus provides a welcome respite from the sun after a long day on the water. Instead of driving home exhausted, your group can cool off and rest in plush seats while a driver handles the drive back to your hotel or meeting point. We can also arrange for multiple pickups and drop-offs if your group is staying at different locations throughout Utah County, making the logistics of your lake day effortless.

The Shops at Riverwoods

For a premier shopping and dining experience, The Shops at Riverwoods is Provo’s go-to destination. Located at the mouth of Provo Canyon, this open-air mall features cobblestone walkways, high-end boutiques, and diverse restaurants. It is particularly popular during the holidays for its spectacular "Lighting of the Riverwoods" event. If you are planning a corporate holiday party, a ladies' shopping day, or a group dinner, renting a shuttle bus to The Shops at Riverwoods adds a touch of luxury and convenience. Parking can be scarce during peak shopping times and holiday events, but a charter bus drops you right at the entrance.

A private shuttle allows your group to shop ‘til you drop without carrying heavy bags long distances to a car. You can store your purchases on the bus and continue to enjoy a meal at one of the many fine dining establishments like La Jolla Groves or Shoots. For corporate groups, the bus provides a great opportunity for networking or team bonding en route to a celebratory dinner. Enjoy the festive atmosphere without the festive traffic jams by booking with Charter Bus Provo.

Provo City Center Temple

Rising from the ashes of the historic Provo Tabernacle, the Provo City Center Temple is an architectural masterpiece and a focal point of downtown Provo. While the entrance inside is reserved for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the manicured grounds and the stunning exterior make it a popular stop for church history tours, photography groups, and wedding parties. The temple is located right on Center Street and University Avenue, an area that can be busy with downtown traffic. A charter bus rental allows large tour groups to visit the temple grounds without the hassle of finding street parking for a dozen cars.

For weddings, Charter Bus Provo specializes in shuttle services between the temple and local reception venues. We ensure that your wedding party and guests—especially out-of-towners unfamiliar with Provo’s grid system—arrive seamlessly for photos and the ceremony. Our buses can be requested with all-black or all-white exteriors to match the elegance of the occasion, and the climate-controlled interiors keep wedding attire crisp and guests comfortable regardless of the season.

Peaks Ice Arena

Relive the glory of the 2002 Winter Olympics at the Peaks Ice Arena. This world-class facility hosted the ice hockey and figure skating events during the games and now serves as a community hub for skating, hockey tournaments, and indoor soccer. It is an excellent destination for active youth groups, sports teams traveling for tournaments, or corporate team-building events on the ice. When traveling with a hockey team, equipment storage is always a major concern. Our full-size charter buses offer massive under-bus luggage bays that can easily accommodate hockey bags, sticks, and pads, leaving the interior cabin spacious and clutter-free for the players.

Whether you are visiting for a public skate session or competing in a regional tournament, having a dedicated bus ensures your team stays together and focused. You can use the ride to the arena to discuss strategy or motivate the team with highlight reels playing on the overhead monitors. Charter Bus Provo has extensive experience transporting sports teams and understands the importance of punctuality for game times and warm-ups.
