Kupa Sports starts at 31.5 € for a 3h session on the Kupa River, making it the better value pick if you want more time on the water. Gorski tok rafting charges 60 € for a 2h session but opens the raft to all fitness levels, no exceptions. The price gap (nearly double) reflects that broader accessibility and a more guided, entry-level format. Both operators run out of Brod na Kupi, right on the edge of Risnjak National Park, so the scenery is identical. Choose Kupa Sports for a longer, more physically engaged run. Choose Gorski tok rafting if you're bringing first-timers or want zero physical prerequisites.

Both operators provide rafting gear, but wear a swimsuit you can move in and bring a change of dry clothes for after. The Kupa River water stays cold through June, so a thin wetsuit layer is worth asking your operator about before the session.
