Welcome to Zorb Rotorua, an adventure-packed destination nestled in the heart of New Zealand’s geothermal region. This unique attraction offers visitors the chance to experience the thrill of zorbing, a recreational activity that involves rolling downhill inside a large, transparent orb. Whether you’re seeking an adrenaline rush or simply looking for a fun and unusual way to spend your day, Zorb Rotorua promises an unforgettable experience.

What is zorbing?

Zorbing is an innovative and exhilarating outdoor activity that originated in New Zealand in the late 20th century. Participants enter a large plastic orb, which can be either harnessed or unharnessed, and then roll down a hill, experiencing the sensation of weightlessness and speed. The orbs are designed with safety in mind, featuring double-layered walls that cushion riders as they make their descent.

What makes zorbing at Zorb Rotorua different from other locations?

Zorbing at Zorb Rotorua is unique due to its variety of tracks (including Straight Track and Sidewinder Track), options for both wet ('Zydro') and dry ('Zorbit') rides within specially designed orbs against the beautiful geothermal landscape of New Zealand.
