ZORB is an adventure activity in which 1, 2 or 3 people are stuffed into a large transparent inflatable ball which is then pushed down a hill, water is then added (cool in the summer and warm in the winter) to create a crazy slide of slippery, screaming goodness.

Invented by the owners of ZORB, Rotorua remains the only location in New Zealand to experience this iconic activity we offer the longest and craziest rides in the world! With three different tracks and two ride styles, ZORB Rotorua offers a range of experiences for your bi-spherical enjoyment:

Straight Track – 250m: Race your mum, your mates or your arch-enemy down the 250m long straight tracks for maximum speed and bragging rights (loser buys lunch).

Sidewinder Track- 350m: 6 massive corners combined with the longest zig -zag track in the land to blow your mind like a cross between a roller-coaster and a waterfall.

Big Air Track – 300m: True to its name – Big Air will have you holding on tight as you fly down three epic drops, swing around thrilling bends and sweeping corners.

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
Well would you look at that, we have a new track called PIPELINE at ZORB Rotorua and it's OPEN. Come check it out. #zorbrotorua #rotoruanz #slidewhileyouride #newtrack
Hmmm, excuse me 'slide while you ride guy' are you meant to be in there? Caption this... #slidewhileyouride #zorbrotorua #rotoruanz

He's baaaack....but what for?! 👀 #areyouready #zorbrotorua
The thrill of downhill ball rolling and the beauty of nature captured in one epic shot! 📸🤩
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 💦🚲
Letting the good times roll on here at ZORB Rotorua 💚

DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS ICONIC KIWI INVENTION, WHERE IT ALL BEGAN!
