She made us feel safe and comfortable from the very beginning, and gave clear instructions so we always knew what to do. She tailored our ride to how "spicy" we wanted to make it, so since it was our first time rafting, that made us feel great. The trip was the perfect level of excitement for us as beginners. It was fun, thrilling, and adventurous without ever feeling overwhelming. My sons, ages 10 and 13, had an absolute blast and want to plan another trip back. We even got to see a bald eagle along the river, it was phenomenal. The weather was perfect, and the whole experience was incredibly well organized. It's also just under two hours from Denver, making it a great day trip. We really appreciated the free parking, and they kept our car keys safely in the office while we were out on the river. We felt completely comfortable leaving everything else locked in our car. We couldn't have asked for a better first rafting experience. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone, especially families and first-time rafters. Definitely opt for the photo package too - the pictures we received were stunning and memorable. Huge thanks to Kayla and the Liquid Descent team!

Showed up and signed release forms, grabbed gear and watched a safety video. Checked our gear before piling into vans and heading out. Got an impromptu guided tour on the way up. Arrived at the our "eddy in" spot, paired up and then the guides gave a detailed orientation, followed by rechecks of our gear. We were given a mock safety instruction for on the water. Let me make it clear, the staff jokes around but safety is paramount for them. Jim was our guide and he put us at ease immediately. They explained water was high and faster from snow melt before we left which equivocated to Class III conditions. We signed up for beginner and ended up with intermediate/expert( go figure) We shoved off and had the best time our of lives!! We launched airborne a few times, defiantly got soaked. By the way, the water is cold. By the time we got to twister, which was the term used for different whitewater parts of the river by the guides we were hooked and wanted more. It's amazing and we would recommend it to anyone looking to have a great time. Hats off to Geo, their operation and their staff!!

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

My friend and I decided to book on a super hot day over the summer and I can't imagine anything better to do in CO on a day like this. The water was considerably lower this day, so the staff recommended everyone take single tubes to ensure we didn't drag on the riverbed. They were super efficient from check in to lockers, safety instructions, and getting us on the bus, yet we didn't feel rushed at all. We laughed all the way down the river twice! Hope to go back soon.

At first Kade was all business, but as we traveled through the rapids, he got more personable.

Overall, I found the communication from the business to be clear. Nothing took too long and each tubing round took around 45 mins? We had to wait for the shuttle once, but it gave us some time to dry out and the weather wasn't too bad!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel it's important to share my experience…read more My wife booked a zipline reservation for me and our family while we were visiting Colorado from Massachusetts. We were busy getting ready for the day when she booked the zip line and she was unaware of my current weight, and the online booking process did not require participant weights before payment. When we arrived, I was weighed before the tour began and was informed that I exceeded the maximum weight limit and could not participate. It was clear to the acting manager that I was not aware of the weight limit. I completely understand and respect that the weight limit is in place for safety. What disappointed me was how my request was handled afterward. I asked if the company would consider a goodwill refund since I was turned away before the activity even began and that I was not aware of the policy. I was told that my request would be emailed to the owners and that I would receive a response within two days. No one ever contacted me. I followed up after waiting 5 days and at that time was told the owners were away for the week. When I contacted the company again, Acting Manager Brandon told me that the email requesting the owners' review that he said he sent while we were there had never actually been sent. He also informed me that, despite the email never being sent as promised, the company would still be following its policy and would not refund my payment. I understand businesses have policies, and I respected the safety decision without argument. My disappointment is with the lack of follow-through and customer service. I was promised a response that never came, had to repeatedly follow up myself, and ultimately received a denial after being told the owners had never even received the original request. No response from the owners as promised and when I had to call again I was told by Brandon that the owners would be sticking to their policy and I could dispute it with my credit card company if that is what I wanted to do. When I asked for an email so that I could contact the owners I was told that was not possible. If you're considering booking, make absolutely certain every participant meets all requirements before purchasing. The company weighs participants upon arrival, and if someone is over the limit, don't expect a refund--even if the activity never begins and you are visiting from out of state. I respect the need for safety rules. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about the way this situation was handled. What was most disappointing was the complete lack of willingness to consider the individual circumstances. Customer service isn't just about enforcing policies--it's also about recognizing when an honest mistake has occurred and exercising reasonable discretion. Despite the circumstances, there appeared to be no meaningful review of the situation and no consideration of a one-time exception. We visit Colorado every couple years and we will make sure to choose another company when looking for an adventure.
