My kids loved the ZORB but it was incredibly expensive, which I wish we had known before we went so we could have tempered their expectations of being able to ride it several times. I can't recall the exact price but it was over $40 for one ride, and you get hardly and price break for more than one ride.... more

We had a great time Zorbing. It was pretty cold when we went but we just brought dry clothes so we could change right away. It was pretty busy, with lots of people coming in on buses, but we didn't have to wait too long. It was pretty fun. We took a waterproof camera/video camera in the ball (even though... more

Zorb was so unusual and even though it doesn't last long, our kids age 16 and 13 still are talking about it. Unusual and very fun! more

If you come to New Zealand, you must try some unique activities and zorbing is one of them. Basically, you are in a chamber inside a ball filled with air and you roll down the hill. If you do this, do the wet option. You are sliding around and it really is like being in a washer. It lasts about... more

After reading all the reviews about the Zorb, I was eagerly looking forward to it. However definitely not worth the money. Maybe if it cost $15 for one run but we paid over $30. The run lasts about 2 minutes and because the zorbs are so old and the plastic has fogged up so you can't see out. We did... more

It was great fun. More fun with more than one person. We did the water one. The only negative is that the balls are older and the plastic has fogged so you really can't see out very well more

If you can ride a waterslide, you can Zydro. It's like a waterslide on steroids. I would thoroughly recommend doing the Zydro on the zig zag course, but enjoy the ride as it's over pretty quick and the price of going again is a little prohibitive. more

Don't miss out on doing this at the Agrodome area. Note that it is separate from the other activities, and, although you might read or be told otherwise, you can NOT combine it with other in a combo purchase deal. Make sure you do the zig-zag course too, it is the best! more

I had wanted to try Zorbing ever since I heard of it so when I visited NZ it was a must. My expectations weren't very high especially since one of my friends had told me it was a very short but fun ride. I had wanted to do a dry ride out of laziness of getting changed, but it is... more
