    Personally found CCO for a MTB tour in pima dynamite. Process couldn't have been easier and the team was responsive. Later that same week my work retreat booked CCO for a few other tours as well where I did the hike with about 30 other coworkers at dreamy draw. Again the process was seamless, friendly guides, and ensured we had a good time all around. Would book again.

    I would highly recommend the Salt River kayaking tour! It was the perfect activity - it was a relatively chill ride for pretty novice kayakers and the views/nature are incredible. Our guides were so sweet, knowledgeable, and helpful - we felt safe and had an absolute blast. Jenna & Lindsey were amazing guides!!

    Our hike with Ms. Kathy was absolutely phenomenal! She was so knowledgeable and shared so many interesting facts with us along the way. Her spirit was warm, jovial and friendly. We laughed so many times and had a few fun quizzes (which we crushed!). Book your next hike with Ms. Kathy!

    This experience was awesome! We had Missy and Jenna as our guides for the combo Mountain Bike + Kayaking tour. They were so nice, well-prepared, and knowledgeable about the desert, wildlife, ecosystem, etc. They were very responsive on giving us options to fit our comfort level (especially since it was my first time mountain biking). They had snacks for us, lunch was included in the tour, and they did all the work of setting up the bikes, gear, kayaks, etc. We were happy to hear how excited Missy got when she gets to lead the Bike + Kayak tour, it's her fave one. It was an extremely fun day and I would recommend to anyone!
