Our girl's 7th birthday was last week and we'd celebrated all weekend. Monday was a holiday and we had no plans, no school, no work.... I came across Liquid Descent and so easily booked a same-day trip. Barely over a half hour from Denver, we were able to have a relaxing morning at home, squeeze in a petting zoo stop on the way up, AND grab lunch and a stroll through town before rafting - all totally stress-free! I couldn't imagine being able to pack so much greatness into a single day, even if I had done all the better planning in the world. Aaron, our guide (and ALL the staff, too!!) were so warm and welcoming to us, wished kiddo a happy birthday, (even had a special birthday helmet for her!) included her in paddling when she wanted to, cheered her on, and kept her totally hyped the whole time. It was apparent the whole time their diligence to prevent crowding - we had a raft to ourselves and hardly saw others at all. They do an amazing job at explaining all the instructions, stayed a step ahead of all our questions, ensured all our gear and knowledge was spot-on before taking off, even the space was accommodating in the time after our trip - welcoming a bit of relaxing in the sunshine before heading back down. They mentioned all the swag and upsells and perks without ever feeling pushy. The beginner was perfect for little kids or anyone who just wants to get out onto the water and have some fun. I was concerned the kid would get cold, scared, tired... I'm sure she was all of these things (a bit here and there!) but we didn't hear a peep about it thanks to the great attitudes of all the team members there - THANK YOU for a great afternoon!! We will certainly be back!
