Description: Tandem Skydive from 15000, 12000 or 9000ft above Rotorua.

Expect sensory overload as your mind/soul/body fight against every natural self preservatory urge, as YOU STEP OUT THAT AIRCRAFT DOOR AND FOR SOME 60 SECONDS PLUMMENT TOWARDS THE GROUND AT 200KPH. The personal challenge is immense.

Your flight to altitude will take you high above the lakes and thermal activity of Rotorua , the view from altitude 15000ft is simply spectacular. NZONE also offer a full range of freefall camera options. A skydive photographer will film you from aircraft exit to landing, flying beside you during freefall capturing your entire skydive experience. Nzone will transfer you from your accommodation in Rotorua to the skydive dropzone which is located at the Rotorua Airport only 10 minutes from the town center. No experience necessary. 100kg weight limit applies. The company operates all year. Achievement doesn’t come sweeter.

Description: Zorb Rotorua is located next to the Agrodome on Western Road (just off State Highway 5 to the north of Rotorua), and offers several revolutionary Zorbing experiences.

In the wash-cycle Zorb we add water into the Zorb so you can run, tumble, flip or slide inside as the Zorb hurtles downhill at speeds of up to 30 km/h. This is great on your own, even better with up to two friends. Dry clothes and towels are available, we have cool water in summer and warm water in winter! For the more adventurous, try our new Zig-Zag track, a cross between a waterfall and a rollercoaster! In the dry Zorb you are safely harnessed inside the Zorb before being sent rolling head over heels downhill.

We are open 7 days from 9am-5pm in winter, 9am-7pm in summer. We are well set up to cater for everyone from individuals to large conference and incentive groups. A shuttle service is available from town – please check at your accommodation or phone us for details.
