Full description

Take on an iconic New Zealand experience in Rotorua. Roll down a hill inside a giant inflatable ball filled with 40 liters of water!

Superman dive into the ZORB ball on your own, or with friends, as you slip, slide, and laugh your way down the slope. The specially designed ball means you will remain right-side up and not get dizzy.

On cold days, we use warm water in the ZORB balls. Hot spas will keep you toasty in between rides and there are heated changing rooms for afterwards. Delicious coffee and hot chocolates made by baristas are also available on-site. 

Includes

  • 1x ride on the straight track and 1x ride on the sidewinder track in a ZORB ball
  • Access to on-site hot tubs, sauna, and heated changing rooms
  • Photos and videos

Not suitable for

  • Children under 5 years
  • Pregnant women
  • People over 297 lbs (135 kg)

Meeting point

525 Ngongotaha Road, Rotorua, New Zealand. The site is located only 5-kilometers from Rotorua's city center, alongside Skyline Rotorua, Rainbow Springs and Mitai Maori village.
