    ZORB 30th BIRTHDAY GIVEAWAY

It’s been a wild 30 years since the ZORB ball was originally created by Andrew Akers and Dwane van der Sluis back in 1994, during their university days.

After commercialising the activity in 1995, ZORB New Zealand has continued to thrive, proudly owned and operated by brothers Andrew and David Akers right here in Rotorua, New Zealand.

Thank you for being part of the journey and helping make ZORB the iconic New Zealand adventure activity it is today. In celebration of our 30th birthday, we’re giving away three incredible experience packages, each one crafted to provide unforgettable adventures in Rotorua, featuring ZORB rides and much more. Fill out the entry form below for your chance to win!

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 👀

“The kids said this is the best thing they’ve done in New Zealand, even better than swimming with the dolphins!”
(Sorry dolphins 🐬) 

Kids love ZORB, but they love it more when their parents get in and have a go! 

Bring the family in for a day out at Zorb Rotorua these school holidays ✨
