ZORBING IS GREAT FUN!!! - All the staff are friendly, understanding, safety conscious and patient, which meant I was able to conquer my issues and participate in all four courses. Was a lot of fun, the third ride would have been my favourite out of the four. Even my 80 year old father in law really enjoyed himself, highly recommend this for a family day out!!

Awesome Fun!!! - This is a must do activity when in Rotorua. If you don’t have a car the bus stops outside so you can get there from downtown. If you forget your bathers they will supply you with bathers and a towel which was awesome for us. Staff very friendly and helpful. They even have hot tubs and free wifi to use while waiting between rides

A great day out!! - Me and my boyfriend really enjoyed this activity, we brought the 3 track package and it was the perfect amount at a really good price. We went in the same zorb for all 3 tracks which made it better as we were banging into eachother and laughing the hole way down.There are also 3 hot tubs so you can have a break in between rides which we really enjoyed as we could get our adrenaline up then have a relax in between zorbing. Would definitely recommend for other couples as a fun date idea but also for families too, there was some children there at the same time as us who had the best time!

Zorbing is awesome! - This was so much fun! We did all four tracks, and would recommend that everyone do so. Each track was fun in it's own way. The hot tubs that were available between rides were great as it was a little cool out. The staff were friendly, helpful, and professional. The yellow track is the highest and has the most amazing view of the lake and surrounding areas that you likely can't get anywhere else. Worth the price of admission and more!

Laughed all the way down - It was a blast! More fun than I expected! My wife and I did a 2 run package, and that was plenty. (The straight down course and the zig-zag) Give it a go!!!

Zorbing in New Zealand - This place was so great. The people were welcoming and friendly and the experience was one of the best in New Zealand. I would definately recommend this to anyone. We went in the Spring so we had warm water in the zorb, it would also be great in the summer.
