    I can't say enough good things about our experience with Liquid Descent. My daughter and I signed up for the beginner rafting trip... and while she was excited... I was terrified. I was so nervous walking in, but from the moment we arrived, every single staff member made us feel welcomed, safe, and supported. Our guide, Koa, was the perfect balance of fun, kind, and incredibly skilled. He guided us through the rapids with such confidence and ease while also making sure everyone felt safe and included. He checked in on us several times throughout and made sure we were having fun, asked us if we wanted to "spice it up" a bit or keep it mellow and just really let us know this was "our" trip and he's cater to what we wanted. I quickly found myself letting go of fear and enjoying the moment... something I didn't expect would happen. Koa's energy was contagious, and his calm, respectful nature made us feel like we were in the best hands possible. At one point on the river, another rafting company had a mishap and we had to pull over and wait for them to recover and get their riders back into the raft safely. Koa explained what had happened with total grace - no judgment, no gossip - just a calm and respectful explanation. He also spoke so kindly of his own coworkers and even the owner of Liquid Descent. You could tell he genuinely cares about the rafting community and takes pride in his work and LOVES his Liquid Descent family! Every employee we encountered was friendly, encouraging, and helpful - from getting us fitted with helmets and life jackets to cheering us on as we headed out. As someone who started out nervous, that kind of supportive vibe made a huge difference. They encouraged me, and they helped me push past my comfort zone in the best way possible. What a GREAT memory! We will remember this day not only for the thrill of the rapids, but for the kindness and heart of the people who guided us through it! If you are considering rafting in Colorado, go with Liquid Descent. I'm so glad we did!

    My family and I just completed our rafting trip- clear creek beginner with Justin. Our guide was professional and skilled. He told us when and how to paddle with confidence. The trip was exciting and slightly challenging for a beginner. This trip, guide and company turned us into rafters. Can’t wait to go again next year!!

    This was my first time rafting and had so much fun! I signed my brother and fiancé up and they enjoyed it as much as I did. We are definitely doing this again! Our guide, Justin, was so awesome! He made our trip absolutely fun and enjoyable! I had a smile from ear to ear in every picture as well as everyone on the raft. I strongly recommend coming here !

  • Great Little Trip down Clear Creek

    Great time with the "Beginning" trip down Clear Creek! No huge waves but lots of smaller white water which kept the raft trip fun and challenging. Loved our boat guide, Angie, and she even let me guide for a while. Everyone had a great time and the day was spectacular.

  • The perfect beginning rafting experience ages 18-81.

    This was so much FUN! The Liquid Descent crew was awesome, This was my first rafting trip. They were thorough in explaining the safety instructions and teaching us how to raft. But they were also so playful and entertaining! Our extended family of 9 enjoyed every minute. Our ages ranged from 18-81. We all enjoyed ourselves and were all able to do this. I highly recommend this company and its staff. We did the beginning rafting experience.
