The Bay of Plenty (Māori: Te Moana-a-Toi) is a large bight in the northern coast of New Zealand's North Island. It stretches from the Coromandel Peninsula in the west to Cape Runaway in the east, a wide stretch of some 259 km of open coastline. The Bay of Plenty Region is situated around this body of water, also incorporating several large islands in the bay. The bay was named by James Cook after he noticed the abundant food supplies at several Māori villages there, in stark contrast to the earlier observations he had made in Poverty Bay.

Great Track, Karts reasonably quick for this circuit, awesome family fun, they were extremely busy so recommend booking to secure your race, our start time was delayed and they gave us the option of cancelling with full refund or extending our race time for free, we chose later, glad we did, had a great time even though my 24 year old son beat me by seconds, will have to have a rematch now!

The most exhilirating Flight experience that I could ever imagine. A true "Pilot " experience from the moment that I got strapped into the F18 Hornet ejection seat. The incredible highly detailed Cockpit as well as Virtual Reality scenery will overwhelm from the "Rookie" to the most advanced Pilot. Landing a fighter Jet aboard a pitching and rolling carrier deck is one of the most challenging exercises in all of aviation and this was all made possible for me by The Aviator Experience. Thank you to Graig and the team for this awesome flight experience and outstanding service, I will certainly be back for many 'More". Regards Jeff

7. ZORB Rotorua
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,794 reviews
The experience of rolling down a hill inside a giant inflatable ball has been an iconic adventure experience since ZORB was invented at this very location way back in 1997! To this day, Rotorua is the ONLY location in New Zealand where you can experience this amazingly fun and bizarre bucket list activity. Please note as of 17 May 2019, ZORB Rotorua was recently purchased back by the original inventors of ZORB (Andrew and Dave Akers) the old ZORB site at 149 Western Road, Rotorua has been permanently closed and our new site (previously known as OGO Rotorua) and is undertaking a rebrand back to ZORB. Please bear in mind when reading old reviews! As the inventors and creators of ZORB, we are excited to have our brand back and our mission is to give every single customer world class customer service, health and safety and value for money when experiencing the ridiculous hilarity that is rolling down a hill in a giant inflatable ball.

We visited 29-10-18. Thank you OGO Staff (Holly & Pete) for an awesome experience!!! Our kids absolutely loved the zig zag track as a trio, as well as the hot spa and added extra:) So far it is the highlight to their NZ holiday. The photos and Go-Pro video of their ride was definitely worth purchasing. Our coffees were also really good. Thank you.

Had a great experience from start to finish. We went on Sunday morning and the young man opening up was really friendly and efficient. The course was great fun with the added bonus of rabbits and a friendly dog to pat in the entrance. Good for kids and adults alike. Would go again.
