ZORB Rotorua is proudly owned and operated by the inventors of this iconic New Zealand bucket list adventure activity.

The Inventors of ZORB

Downhill ball rolling in a giant inflatable sphere can be experienced all over the world thanks to two Kiwi blokes, Andrew Akers and Dwane van der Sluis, who invented the craze in 1994. ZORB Rotorua is owned and operated by Andrew and his brother David in Rotorua, New Zealand.

Ever wondered how you get to the top of the hill? We have a noble steed (van) and friendly driver that does all of the hard yards for you. No walking involved! #zorb #zorbrotorua #rotoruanz #thingstodo #slidewhileyouride

Gotta love this view from the top of our tracks, including our new track Pipeline. How cool is that tree tunnel look from above? 🍃 #zorbrotorua #rotoruanz #purenz #thingstodo #slidewhileyouride

Here`s to a decade of shredding for @crankworxrotorua!! It`s been epic witnessing our mates over the hill achieve such cool things in the last 10 years! Don`t forget if you need to wash away all that mud, sweat and maybe tears while you`re here for @crankworx , you can come and see us for a roll or three down the hill 💦🚲

Did you know up to three people can ride together in a ZORB ball? This does tend to end up a bit like human spaghetti 🍝 but you will likely end up with a sore stomach from laughing so hard at the end of it! 😄
