Travel Photos - Zorbing, Rotorua, New Zealand



From Hobbiton (aka Matamata) we cruised east towards Rotorua and stopped for a quick burst of zorbing. Relatively new and all the rage – the Zorb looked a bit dull to me after all the adrenalin pumping activities we’ve experienced but I was wrong. It was brilliant fun and we laughed and laughed all the wet, slidy way down –twice!


The guys at Zorb Rotorua (http://www.zorb.com/zorb/rotorua/) were very friendly and hospitable. You have your choice of the wiggly route down or straight down the hill, we tried both but straight down is more fun and faster! There's really nothing like it - its just one of those things you have to try before you die. And so simple.....

.....at the top of the hill.....







.....we'll just put some water in there with you!....







.....when we tell you, stand up and walk forward.....





.....enjoy the ride down.....

Great fun - do it!
