    This place does it right - family owned and the guides are super kind and knowledgeable. We took our 7 and 3-year-olds and Ody did everything to ensure they felt confident and safe. We will definitely be keeping track of Ody wherever he goes and will be back to Downstream Adventures!

    What a fantastic adventure! Kevin, with 11 years of experience as a white water rafting guide, provided expert guidance. We thoroughly enjoyed laughing, freezing, and making memories. We highly recommend this company! #downstreamadventuresrafting #hikevinsmom

    Rafting and Dez

    We had an awesome experience Rafting with Downstream Adventures I recommend it 100%. We were at Kremmling Colorado and Dez was our rafting guide she was the coolest and made the experience wonderful. Thank you Dez for an espectacular experience. And thank you Steve, the blind bus driver, for driving us safely to our rafting spot.

    Family vacation!

    Had an AMAZING time rafting with this company! We are a party of 10 so we split 4 and 6. The younger group had Tippy. They said he was amazing! Us older folk had Russell. So knowledgeable, great communicator, fantastic raft guide and all around cool guy. This was our first white water rafting trip and now I'm hooked! We ALL highly recommend this company. Fun. Smart. Kind. Experienced. Knowledgeable.

    This company is amazing and very accommodating. I felt completely safe and in good hands with Tre, Trevor and Amanda. They all made the excursion very informative and fun. We had a party of 13, and they made us feel very comfortable as most of us were beginners. If you have a desire to go white water rafting, please consider using this company. They won't disappoint, and they are family owned!

    This was our first family trip and the Downstream team was great! The instructions were clear, check in and safety talk was to the point, and we got all decked out in the appropriate gear. Our guide Joe was great! We went with an almost 6 and almost 8 year old, neither of whom could really handle paddling, but Joe kept them safe, entertained, and plenty wet. This was a great trip! One star review for the river being too cold and shallow to swim in - would love to see them fix that.

    Beginners course with Tippy!

    See all

This year, I went early season on Clear Creek and loved it so much I came back late season for Gore Canyon- an adrenaline-packed, fun adventure! The day started with a swim test to make sure everyone was prepared before tackling Class V rapids. (Honestly, if you're not a strong swimmer, this trip isn't for you, they do test your swimming in the rapids and throughout the trip over half of the people across our 5 rafts ended up in the water at some point! Additionally this would be quite the dive into the deep end if you've never rafted before!) The trip was an incredible mix of thrills, skill, and crazy beautiful scenery you would not have guessed was there when you drive into Kremmling. Midway through, we stopped for snacks, and when we wrapped up, the crew served a delicious lunch and cold beers (NA options were there too!) such a nice touch after a big day! What sets Liquid Descent apart is the crew. Every guide I've had has been dedicated to making the trip special. I've talked to them and many of them have said they specifically choose to work here because of the company's extra training and the sense of community. I even met the owner yesterday at Gore Canyon, and you can tell the company's passion for customer experience comes directly from the top. Specifically the last 2 guides I've had, Jordan and Malia have been awesome! Yes, most rafting companies use the same put-in/take-out points and similar gear but the experience is what makes the difference. With Liquid Descent, the guides make sure it's the best it can be and their love for their job ensures you're going to have a great time. I've rafted with other companies in locations where liquid descent isnt and know: the right guide changes everything. If you're looking for an unforgettable rafting trip in Colorado, Liquid Descent is the company to go with!

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!

They have a strict age requirement of 14 and our 12 year old made that a challenge. Having done class 3-4 at Royal Gorge I would say this did not disappoint. It was constant and continuous adventure. I would have loved to kept going longer but like all good things they do come to an end. The 1.5 hours was mot too short either don't get me wrong. If you are scared of the cold don't cheap out--get the extra gear to make your experience better. My wife and kids did the gear. Since we were here in July in the water at noon I toughed it out. Don't vet me wrong it was cold and at times what I would have done to be warm. I feel the cold splash is a part of the experience. Sitting in the front I was also glad for a pair of sunglasses. They say this is some of the best rafting they have had in awhile. What really made this exemplary was the staff. They made you all feel like family. Zak in particular was our favorite. He gave the right balance of safety and firmness needed for a guide. He also helped my 70 year old mother in law work through her fears and continue with getting in the raft. She was reluctant as she only has one hand. Zak calmed her and gave her options. My kids also loved the bus driver Max. Not so sure they loved him ao much it was more his dog Willow. If you want a great and safe experience do it with Mad Adventures where they make you feel like family.

Definitely would recommend swimwear or synthetic (not cotton) clothes and a change of dry clothes after like they mention! Too bad I forgot to read the email details ‍.I hope they send text message reminders about these details as well, it's easier to check texts rather than email on vacation. We went on the intermediate route which was a ton of fun. On this route they also gave the option of trying out some more rougher class 4s which were the most exciting parts. Would definitely recommend the intermediate route if you're looking for something more exciting! It was not nearly as difficult or stamina depleting as I expected. I believe the beginners route is more of a nice scenic cruise more than anything. 10/10 worth coming here P.S. Chris got mad jokes give this man a bonus lol!

They were awesome to work with me and find a guide to take us out anyway. Jason was amazing. He was a patient teacher while I got used to driving an ATV and he was a knowledgeable guide who taught us a lot about the mountains and the area. We did the two hour tour which was the perfect about of time to really go up the mountain. Any shorter and we wouldn't have gotten to see much. Any longer and my hands would have been in too much pain from gripping the throttle. I did end up with a slight blister on my palm that really only hurt in the last 15 min. I recommend that you bring gloves since they don't provide. You can't go wrong with this tour. Lots of fun!

For the last few years our boys(6,8, and 10) have dreamed of catching a trout. In Florida we catch bass but trout is something they've always wanted to catch. We were staying at the Rocky Mountain YMCA about an hour away and we spent the week exploring and looking for an option to catch trout for big surprise on Friday. They updated social media said they are currently open fri-Mon. So even though nobody answers the phone when we tried to call on Wednesday and Thursday we wanted to trust that their website, that Google, that Apple Maps, all shows they are open Friday. Friday morning we checked out of our hotel drove there to find a sign that says we are open Friday through Monday and another sign next to it that says currently closed. As you can see in the picture, it is 1 PM on a Friday when they're saying they should be open... super bummed because we don't have enough time before our flight to find another option and we had planned on this all week. Maybe another year we can try to catch a trout.

You don't have to bring anything at all and a fishing license is not required. So if you think of all that savings right up front for a one time fishing event, you can't beat it! You have to keep every fish you catch and you pay for fish by the inch. So for an entire day of fishing, where we caught 6 nice size trout (see pictures) we paid $125 and left a 20% tip on top of that. Thats still cheaper than buying two fishing licenses for the girls buying one for me, because I would have to have a license if they are fishing, buying rods, reels, bait, and find a place where they're actually going to catch fish. If you know what you're in for when you get there and pay attention to the pricing there's absolutely nothing to complain about. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I highly recommend for any family taking their kids fishing for the first time.
