ZORB^® globe riding...your latest abdominal workout; the new skip in your step; the latest thump thump in your chest; your new crush; the only experience on your bucket list; the dream of dreams...the reality. The ride of your life.

ZORB^® is a New Zealand company and brand name which began life over 14 years ago. The ZORB^® experience, generically called 'globe riding', was invented in New Zealand and developed by ZORB^® since 1995 using our original ZORB^® globes. Using this truly innovative and unique device, the crazy kiwi's took it a step further and decided it was a good idea to roll down a hill inside the ZORB^® globe. And what an idea it was – the sport of globe riding was born!

What is ZORB^® globe riding?

ZORB^® globe riding (generically known as globe riding) is the experience of rolling down a hill in a large inflatable globe at a dedicated ZORB^® site. We place you inside one of our original ZORB^® globes and roll you down our hill, wet or dry (which ever tickles your fancy!). We have two types of ZORB^® globes available - the harness, or ZORBIT (dry) variety; and the non-harness, or ZYDRO (wet) variety. What's more, you can choose to roll down a one of our track varitations for a completely unique experience.

We own the trademark for the word "ZORB" in many countries and manufacture our ZORB^® globes here in New Zealand at a company-owned factory. Our ZORB^® globes are constantly being modified and updated to ensure they are top quality and the best in the market. You can be sure  that when visiting an official ZORB^® site and riding in our ZORB^® globes that it will be safe, fun, and an experience you just can't wait to tell everyone about.

The ZORB^® family began in the Tourism Hub of New Zealand, Rotorua, with the opening of ZORB^® Rotorua. ZORB^® Rotorua is our flagship site and sees over 50,000 people a year walk through its doors, roll down its hill, jump their best ZORB^® jump, and leave with a feeling of true accomplishment, exhilaration, and absolute desire for more!

ZORB^® Smoky Mountains is the latest addition to the ZORB^® family and is currently the only official ZORB^® site in the USA! With tracks almost twice as long as our flagship site in Rotorua...it is the place you just have to visit if you are in the US.

We have rolled - and we mean, rolled – hundreds of thousands of people down our specially designed hills at our dedicated sites around the world. In this time, we have not had a single case of projectile bodily discharge via the mouth (or any other orifice for that matter) through people riding in our ZORB^® globes.

We pride ourselves on safety and ensuring your ZORB^® globe riding experience is the safest way to get your adrenaline fix. We have spent millions of dollars developing our sites to reflect this, and manufacturing our ZORB^® globes with only the highest quality materials and processes. This ensures Mum and Dad feel confident that they can bring little Johnny and Sarah to get their taste of what everyone is talking about...ZORB^® globe riding.

We are always on the look out for new sites, areas, countries and people to establish the newest official ZORB^® site and become the latest addition to the ZORB^® family. Check out our Business Stuff if you're interested.
