Fun time - My hubs and I were looking for an easy, fun experience on the water and landed on Liquid Descent. Starting with booking online and signing the waiver online, this was the perfect trip! Jack was great in providing information and guiding our raft. The team of ladies that drove the bus and the other rafts were fun and chill at the same time. The actual time on the river was about an hour, and it flew by. We had such a great time! They took pics of us as we were going down the river and had them for sale when we arrived back. A little pricey at $55. Overall, a super cool experience. Exactly what we were looking for. Would definitely recommend.

Tons of fun for the whole family! - Great experience with Liquid Descent! Family of four, 3 of us as first-timers to rafting. Our guide, Levi, made it not only safe and easy but fun and thrilling as well! Highly recommend for all ages and athletic ability. Take the trek 1 hour outside of Denver for this excursion - you won’t regret it!

Rafting in Colorado - We had the best time rafting yesterday with Kaiden as our guide! It was a miserable,cold rainy day and 2 of the people in our raft bailed as we were getting ready to launch ( which now we are glad they did!) but the three of us girls powered through and crushed it!! One tip- don't listen to Geno when he says you don't need a wet suit or splash jacket - we did and we froze but it didn't put a damper on our day - it added to the experience. Alex was awesome too as lead guide- fun group, fun day! Highly recommend!

So much fun! - This was a very exciting adventure! Our guide was Ainsley and she was awesome. We are a family of 5 with our youngest being 9 so we did the beginner tour. We ended up rafting in a storm so it rained on us and was chilly. Ainsley kept us safe and entertained. She was very good with the kids. All the staff was super nice actually. Our trip down the river was exciting, even for the beginner run. I did purchase the photo package as well and I'm glad I did. The bus driver does the photos by standing at certain locations along the river and did a good job capturing neat photos during rapids. I definitely recommend this place!

Ready to go again - Jack and the whole staff was excellent. Jack made my daughter's first rafting experience a absolute blast. She gave it a 10 out of 10 and is ready to go again.

When rafting, Liquid Descent is the company to choose. - This was one of the best experiences ever!! The views were amazing and magical. The equipment was high quality and clean. The guides were nice and knew what they were doing. Here’s a fun, but very important fact: the owners require the guides to do 100 hours of training instead of the Colorado standard 50 hours of training. Our guide was Justin and he was humorous, but serious when he needed to be. Please remember to tip your guides as they do their best to make the experience perfect. We will definitely be back to do intermediate rafting next time.

I smile just thinking about our experience! - So so much fun!!! The guides educate you on everything you need to know and provide everything you need to wear. Although a beginners rafting experience there are a few white water rapids which was perfect. Allow enough time to check in, experience it and clean up. @3 hours. Emi was our very engaging and knowledgeable tour guide. We look forward to returning next year with our growing family.
