Discover the ZORB Rotorua Experience

ZORB Rotorua is the only destination in New Zealand offering an exhilarating downhill ride inside a giant inflatable ball. Invented in 1997 by Andrew and David Akers, ZORB is now home to some of the world’s most inventive and exciting tracks. Visitors can choose from a range of ride options and enjoy an unforgettable adventure amid the beautiful Rotorua landscape.

A Thrilling Adventure on Multiple Tracks

Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned ZORB enthusiast, Rotorua’s tracks deliver unique fun for everyone. Each ball is filled with 40 liters of water, kept cool in summer or warm in winter for comfort. Challenge your friends and family as you roll solo or in groups down specially designed tracks:

• Straight Track: Glide superman-style alone or with up to three people for 250 meters of friendly competition. Race side-by-side on dual lanes for added excitement.

• Sidewinder: Tackle 350 meters of the curviest track in the world, filled with twists, turns, and six major bends. The moving water inside keeps things slippery and fun.

• MEGA: Test your courage on the fastest, steepest 350 meter-long track, blending speed, slopes, and scenic views. It’s built for up to three riders each time.

• Big Air: Hang on as you experience three intense drops and sweeping curves for Rotorua’s most exhilarating ZORB ride. This track fits two riders at once.
