Adventure Begins Here
Colorado Outback Adventures has everything your family could need to have a thrilling time in Southwest Colorado. From whitewater rafting on the Animas River to high-flying zipline tours, it is the perfect launchpad for outdoor adventures based right on Main Avenue in downtown Durango.
Whitewater Rafting
The Animas River runs straight through Durango, and Colorado Outback Adventures offers rafting trips for every level — from mellow family floats with beginners and young kids to splashier intermediate runs through the Animas Gorge. Trips include all the gear, professional guides, and the kind of memories that stick around long after the river dries off your boots.
Ziplines & ATVs
When the family is ready for a different kind of adrenaline, the high-altitude zipline tour delivers stunning views of the surrounding peaks. ATV rentals open up the backcountry for those who want to explore the high country at their own pace, with rental packages built around half-day, full-day, and overnight adventures.
Tubing & Family Fun
In the winter, the snow tubing hill becomes a local favorite for families — no skis or special skills required, just laughter and a long uphill walk. Summer river tubing on the Animas is one of the most relaxing ways to experience the river. Either way, Colorado Outback Adventures keeps the focus on safety, friendly guides, and a genuinely fun day out.
