Roll into Adventure


Zorbing is an exhilarating activity where participants roll downhill inside a large, transparent sphere, offering a unique blend of adventure and fun.

This adrenaline-pumping activity was dreamt up in 1994 by Kiwi innovators Andrew Akers and Dwane van der Sluis, who thought, "Why should hamsters have all the fun?" They crafted the first human-sized orbs in Rotorua, New Zealand, and since then, zorbing has taken the globe by storm. These orbs, typically about 3 meters in diameter, offer a cushioned, bouncy ride as you navigate slopes or flat terrains!

Zorbing is generally suitable for individuals over the age of 5. However, those with certain medical conditions or mobility issues should consult with the operator beforehand to ensure it's safe for them.

It's recommended to wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes. Some operators may provide protective gear, but it's advisable to check in advance.

A typical zorbing ride lasts between 30 seconds to a minute, depending on the slope's length and the specific experience offered.

Zorbing is typically a seasonal activity, with availability depending on the location and weather conditions. For instance, Rotorua in New Zealand offers zorbing year-round, while other locations may operate only during certain seasons.

Zorbing is generally safe when conducted under professional supervision with appropriate safety measures. Ensure you book through a reputable operator who adheres to established safety guidelines
