We did our first rafting trip as a family yesterday. It was my husband, three boys and I. It was such a fun time. Everything about the day was super organized, the staff was friendly, transportation to the river was easy and our guide, Billy, was amazing. We had such a wonderful time and cannot wait to go back in the future.

Jacob was a fantastic guide that provided a ton of history and personal info about Durango. The river was low, but this run was still filled with fun. I highly recommend taking a river trip with COA!

Excellent time. Took our grandchildren (7&11) and they had a blast. Our guide Ben was outstanding, like one of the best we’ve ever been with. Very nice, communicated great with kids, and made the trip fun. HIGHLY recommend.
