We ROLLED OFF A MOUNTAIN in an Inflatable Ball! Zorb Rotorua New Zealand 🇳🇿| 197 Countries, 3 Kids

Join us for a double adventure in Rotorua, New Zealand.
It was a beautiful winter day at Lake Rotoiti and we decided to do something we had never tried before!
Just a short 20-minute drive from our Home Exchange, we found the most unique activity imaginable - ZORBING! zorb.com/
For this stunt, we partnered with the Zorb™ company founded by two very cool Kiwi dudes, Andrew Akers and Dwane van der Sluis, who invented this adrenaline-pumping “sport” in 1994.
Now...
For those of you who have no idea what Zorbing is, the simplest way to put it is “downhill rolling in an inflated ball.” Yes, you read that right!
You jump into a giant inflated ball and you start rolling down the hill slopes - simple yet extremely effective!
The Zorb base had four different tracks, Mega Track, Sidewinder Track, Dual Straight Tracks, and Big Air Track, and we tried them all!!!
They took us on a bus to the top of the hill to spare us from walking up and once we got there - it was time for FUN.
We took turns down the hill one by one or as a group, together in one Zorb. Can you imagine, the girls squeezed together in one giant ball!
There were also heating booths and hot tubs at the top and the base of the hill where we warmed up while waiting our turn. Although mild, it was winter after all.
It was fun! It was new! It was unusual! And we totally loved it!
Plus, the nearby Maori community looked like a place cut out of a fairytale!
But the day was far from over.
On our way to activity #2, we picked up our friend Jessie and headed to the Paddle Board Rotorua base. In partnership with this company, we had one of the most magical paddleboarding experiences. www.paddleboardrotorua.com/
Fully geared up, we were back on the lake once again, paddling towards the caves. Once we reached the narrow inlets, we had to squeeze in one by one while trying to maintain balance and not fall into the water.
And if you are wondering why we would go through so much trouble, it was to see some glow worms in the dark caves! Totally Worth It!
As Julia said, this was the perfect end of the night on our most epic day in Rotorua!

[@meg7088]

Very epic day full of fun and adventure, so glad your enjoying every moment you can, you have certainly showed more of NZ that I've seen in my lifetime.

[@duncanupjohn1481]

Looked like you were all having a ball (literally) in the Zorbs - and so elegant too - haha. Glad to hear you will be staying longer in this beautiful country. I look forward to more of your excellent videos.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Not sure about elegant when rolling down the hill but did have a ball 🤩

[@BasicFishingNZ]

haha that was fun to watch! looks like the young ladies had great wild ride haha the paddle boarding must have been fun especially in that calm condition but i did not expect to see a tunnel haha look forward to ur next adventure!

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Everything was amazing! The paddle boarding was a great way to end an epic day and yes was great to have nice calm water because it would have been difficult to not fall off it it wasn't.

My home city , the views bought so many memories back . My son was baptised in the Church on the Lake at Ohinemutu. Kiwi from Virginia. Another comment; you were braver than I re the Zorb.

I would love to go Zorbing. Question: How well padded are the Zorbs? I'd need a doctors permission to give it a go.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

It’s crazy in there but well padded but that doesn’t mean you won’t feel like you are in a washing machine 🤪😂It’s quite the experience that’s for sure.
