We wish the water had been higher so we would have had more white water but Chase made the trip enjoyable. The water park was really fun.

Mason was amazing! One of the most fun activities we’ve done as a family with our 3 and 5 year old boys! We highly recommend. The boys were taken out of the boat during the class III rapids making it very family friendly.

The La Plata Canyon jeep tour was the highlight of our Durango trip! We did not intentionally plan our trip for prime colors but it turn out perfect. The colors in the canyon and the waterfalls were truly stunning and pictures just didn’t do the scenery justice. The jeep ride was a great adventure with the right amount of crazy. We stopped several times for photo ops and to do short hikes. Our guide John was very knowledgeable about the history of La Plata and shared numerous folklore stories and pointed out memorable landmarks. He was determined to make our day spectacular…which he definitely achieved. Absolutely ask for John if you intend to book this trip… you won’t be disappointed!!

We had a great trip on the Animas river. It was the perfect combo of rapids and floating. Not too rough for kiddos. Even was a fantastic guide. We really enjoyed bull riding and surfing.
Outdoor family fun!

COA was a terrific host, provided life jackets and helmets. Guide gave a safety talk and instructions prior to embarking. The Animas River is beautiful! My only complaint is that the river was low and slow in most areas, I know now to book this type of adventure in early Spring for max thrills.
