ZORB | Rotorua | Man And Woman Inside ZORB Ball

You’re in for a wild ride @ ZORB ROTORUA

Superman dive into a giant inflatable ball and roll down Mt Ngongotaha with ZORB, where the fun will have you laughing uncontrollably.

Discover FOUR different ball rolling tracks – the world’s longest zig-zag Sidewinder Track, the smooth ‘n’ fast double Straight Track, MEGA Track – the longest, fastest and steepest track in all the land, and the Pipeline Track – which starts out with a wiggle, a weave, and then takes you whizzing through an arboreal tunnel! Think of it like a giant water slide, 40 litres of water (warm in winter, cool in summer) with no tumbling involved, just full on belly laughs from top to bottom. To this day, Rotorua is the ONLY location in New Zealand where you can experience this amazingly fun and bizarre bucket list activity.

Need to fuel your adventure? We’ve done a colab with local legends Black Label BBQ and we’re bringing you a curated menu of low slow toasties. Grab yourself a Grilled Cheese, Open loaded mac & cheese, with pulled pork or jack fruit. The house smoked pastrami on rye is to dye for, not to mention our ZORB specialty the Flat Dog. All accompanied by locally roasted coffee from Boasters Coffee Roasters. So, if you’re having a LULL, let us pick you up a LULL.

ZORB Rotorua is a water activity which means you will get wet so you will need some clothing to get wet in 💦

Luckily for you, if you don’t see our website or our posts letting you know it is a wet ride or you’ve forgotten your swimwear - we provide hire gear! A shirt, shorts and a towel can be hired out as individual items or as packages 👕🩳

Throwing clothes at our Operations Manager was for video content purposes. Throwing clothes at him in real life will not result in him magically changing into your clothes… but feel free to try 👀
