We rented a Tandem and some other gear from CD outdoors for our Verde Trip. Everything was wonderful. Getting the info and everything from Carlos was the absolute best. He explained a few of the routes and was awesome to hang with! Thanks!

We rented 4 pack rafts from CD Outdoors for a 3 day trip. Carlos was great and spent some quality time ensuring we knew how to manage the rafts as well as parting his knowledge of the area we were going. The time he spent with us made the trip that much better. Great customer service and very friendly. He also threw in some additional equipment to ensure our comfort on this trip. Would definitely rent or buy from CD Outdoors again.

I haven’t even got in the water with these guys, Carlos and Diana have been nothing but wonderful on the phone and I am looking forward to meeting them. This will be a memorable trip for our family, and we are happy, and privileged to have found these great folks, promising to make the visit even better by knowing some cool locals!

Next we get there, and omg better than you can imagine! The best cup of Colombian coffee I’ve ever had, then carefully, professionally, and artistically outfitted, and off to the river! Carlos is a super talented dry bag, and now too also boat manufacturer. I had to get one of his (reasonably priced hand-made dry bag with four point attachments, quick inflate, breath or bag for storage and floatage.

Tips on where to get in and out, what to see on the way, like a mini-self propelled guided mission! Super fun! Lifetime of memories! Thank you Diana and Carlos!

Absolutely amazing company, customer service that goes above and beyond expectations, and great vibe overall. We rented two packrafts from Carlos and Diana for a 6 day GC adventure and had the best time. Carlos took extra steps to ensure our trip was a reality. It would have been impossible to make this trip without him! Due to the many, many ducks we came across, plus other stories too long for this post, we named our boats respectively: sir ducksworth the third and ducksbill baggins. If you get these boats just know they embraced 6 days of some epic memories that you are getting to add onto. We not only learned about a great company to rent from in the future, but also gained a friend for future adventures. We hope he can make it out with us on our next trip! I couldn’t say enough positive things about CD outdoors.

Edited to add: I almost forgot, we also bought his custom designed Nalgene water bottle holders which held up over many a waterfall and was great to have handy, but securely clipped in on the boat. I’d def recommend getting one for your next adventure.

CD outdoors is fantastic. Carlos will do drysuit repairs, drysuit gaskets, boat repairs, boat modifications, custom outdoor gear sewing (including canyoneering gear) and many other textile related projects. If you need help with a project in outdoor gear or packrafting, call Carlos!

We rented 3 pack rafts from Carlos for a day on Fossil Creek. One of the coolest things I’ve ever done in my life. The boats were great and Carlos was extremely knowledgeable. We had so much fun. Thank you!!! He went above and beyond.

We were able to rent a whole packraft kit for a friend one week and get my zipper repaired the next. I don't think there's any need to go anywhere else.

I purchased a packraft from CD outdoors LLC it took 10 months for my boat to arrive from China however CD outdoors was very generous and allowed me to use a loaner boat while waiting for mine to arrive. The second time I blew up my boat it had a leaky seam I was on the upper salt River with the owner of the company Carlos. Carlos admitted the boat was faulty informed me he would fix it or give me a refund. The entire trip was scary because my boat was leaking air I kept putting Tyvek over the leak. Carlos was extremely cranky at me telling me he was on vacation and he did not want to fix boats. On the last day Carlos put the temporary patch you see in the picture but it is coming loose. Carlos has blocked me since this trip and is refusing to refund my money for the boat or repair my boat. I’m now stuck with a brand new boat that has a hole in it I can’t use. CD outdoor sells cheap‘s boats from China they don’t stand behind their product. I would not recommend them!!
