We all did beginner level and it was perfect for them, as well as a few adults. I also reached out with some questions prior to booking and they were very quick to respond, which was super helpful. We'll definitely be back for sure, thanks very much to liquid descent for treating us to such a fun family adventure. And special thanks to our guides- you gals absolutely rock!

Due to the recent heavy rainfall and snow melt the rafting seemed more intermediate than beginner but we were fine with that since we had all been rafting before. We all had a lot of fun and Adam let us know we could get a discount for going again since we live in CO- we might try the intermediate in the future Definitely recommend wearing a swimsuit underneath the wetsuit and also bringing a rain jacket - these items saved me! Also recommend bringing water shoes if you own any- (they have some for rent too) since water is very cold and your lower body will get soaked

There was another one with curly hair who told my dad he could speak great Spanish but my Dad had no idea what he was saying. He said it felt like the guy was trying to flirt with him and it made him really mad and I agree with my father, its very unproffesional. The one short brown haired guy was extremely helpful which was the only good experience. The blond one told me it was a Lazy River and that he caught small fish but enjoyed the nature and wildlife.

Do not book with this company because there is terrible customer care. We booked 2 days with a…read moreguide and were told the guides would contact a week before the trip. One of the guides, Pete contacted us as was absolutely amazing. We learned about him taking his grandson fishing and even about his dog. Pete was in constant contact making sure we had all the info, directions as there is very poor cell service where we will be fishing. We even decided to bring special treats for his dog. The trip is scheduled for tomorrow and we are so excited, all our gear is laid out including 3 bags of dog treats. My wife and I left multiple messages with Golden River Sports saying it was for Travis explaining we were extremely happy about how wonderful Pete the guide for Wednesday is but not a word from the guide for Thursday. After days of no phone calls from Travis or GRS I called and explained we are not comfortable or happy about the lack of professional conduct from Thursday's guide or GRS so cancel Thursday but we are excited about how great the guide for Wednesday is. On Tuesday We finally get a call from Travis and he says has no clue about any of this he was just confirming our booking. I explained there is a big issue with professionalism and communication with GRS and we canceled Thursday but were very excited and were very impressed with Wednesday guide Pete. He stated " thank you for bringing this to my attention but I don't feel comfortable about sending my guide out with you. I said I'm just bringing this to your attention and love working with Pete. He said he was canceling our trip! At this point now I'm mad! I try to help this guy and tell him we have no problem with Pete and it's your company that has the problem. I then stated I better not see one penny charged on my credit card!!!so we drove here from Iowa, rented an Airbnb waiting to go on our bucket list fly fishing trip and paid all this money to squeeze in 2 days of fishing. Now I ask you would you want to trust your money or precious time with a company like this??? Buyer beware!

As first-time rafters with two skeptical teenage girls in tow, we weren't sure if we were about to…read morebond... or just bounce off some rocks. But Austin was our fearless rafting guide and part-time therapist--who calmed nerves, cracked jokes, and got us paddling in no time. From the very first splash, Austin made us feel safe and slightly more athletic than we actually are. He coached us through the twists and turns of the creek, and somehow convinced our teens that getting absolutely drenched and paddling for their lives was the best day ever. Miracles do exist. We glided through hidden stretches of the creek like pros (or at least like enthusiastic amateurs with great lighting), hollering with joy and soaking up every second of the adventure. Even the "hold on tight!" moments felt like a ride at a theme park--but with better views and less screaming. 10/10 would paddle again. If you're looking for an unforgettable family outing full of laughter, nature, and just the right amount of "we might flip but only if you don't do what Austin says", he's your guide. He's part guide, part hype man, and all-around river legend. Bring snacks or a picnic lunch for after an early morning trip, bring sunscreen (and put it on BEFORE you get a wetsuit. Rent shoes when you check-in ($5/person). Your family will thank you for this adventure (once they stop laughing and wringing out their socks).

I rarely leave negative reviews, but our experience on the July 2 beginner rafting trip was…read moredisappointing enough that I feel others should know what to expect. The day started with what appeared to be a major organizational failure. Instead of sending individual beginner groups down the river separately, the company combined two beginner groups into one massive group of approximately 16 rafts. Having that many inexperienced rafters on the water at the same time created congestion, confusion, and raised serious safety concerns. Unfortunately, those concerns proved valid. One person in our raft fell into the river twice during the trip. While rafting always involves some risk, our guide, Lily, appeared completely unprepared for the responsibility of leading a beginner group. We were told it was her first time guiding, and it showed. She struggled to give clear directions, could not project her voice well enough for everyone in the raft to hear, and often seemed unsure of how to effectively manage and direct the boat through the rapids. Beginner rafters depend on their guide for instruction and confidence, and that was lacking throughout the trip. What was even more concerning was learning that the company had to borrow guides from other rafting companies just to have enough staff for the day. In fact, our bus had to exit the freeway so one of the borrowed guides could be dropped off at his own employer to start his shift. That alone speaks volumes about how unprepared the operation appeared to be. The final frustration was the length of the trip. Our beginner trip departed at 9:00 a.m. and did not return until after 2:00 p.m. More than five hours for a beginner rafting excursion is excessive, especially when there was little communication explaining the delays. I understand that outdoor activities can be unpredictable, but the issues we experienced were not related to weather or river conditions. They were the result of poor planning, inadequate staffing, and questionable operational decisions. The river itself was beautiful, but the overall experience was overshadowed by safety concerns, lack of organization, and poor communication. I hope management takes a serious look at how these trips are staffed and managed before someone gets hurt. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this company.

We were doubly…read moreprepared to stay safe because they explained all the safety instructions before getting on the bus and before getting on our boats. As a former educator, I get it! Paying attention is hard and staying safe is important, so thanks for the double prep. It paid off because nobody in our boat fell out and we had a blast! At first Kade was all business, but as we traveled through the rapids, he got more personable. He did a great job being the responsible leader of the group of 4 boats and taking care of us in his boat. I highly recommend taking a trip with the CAC!

I would give this place a 5 but I need to leave room in case we find something better. Say a 4+ star and highly recommended.
