ZORB Sidewinder

Take on the Thrill of ZORB Sidewinder in Rotorua

Looking for a truly one-of-a-kind adventure? The ZORB Sidewinder has been an iconic Rotorua experience ever since Andrew and David Akers developed the original ZORB operation back in 1997.

Roll Down the Hill in Style

As you Superman-dive into the ball, spectacular views of Lake Rotorua and Mokoia Island unfold below. Because the ZORB Sidewinder track stretches an impressive 350 meters, it holds the title of the world’s longest zig-zag ride. So, from start to finish, you’re in for a genuinely unforgettable journey down the hill.

Ride Solo or with Friends

Up to three people can ride together inside a single ZORB ball, sliding through 40 liters of water that stays cool in summer and warm in winter. As you build speed along the straightaways, you’ll then ride up the sides of six massive corners, creating a thrilling, twisting descent. Riders must be at least 5 years old to join in the fun. Plus, shorts, t-shirts, and towels are all available for hire, so you can show up ready to ride.

A Few Ground Rules

Before you book, keep a few things in mind. You can’t pass one of your rides along to a friend, and you can’t save a ride for another day, month, or year down the road. And no, you definitely can’t bring a puppy along for the ride!

So, if you’re ready for an adventure unlike anything else, the ZORB Sidewinder delivers speed, splashes, and stunning views all rolled into one unforgettable Rotorua experience.
