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.
