For Adventure Sports enthusiast, Zorbing is a must do. Simply saying, Zorbing is a recreation activity of rolling down a hill inside a inflated ball. The experience is more like throw inside a washing machine. Though you might think with all the movement inside the zorb, you would end up black and blue, but Zorb is incredibly safe. The Zorbing site was first established in Rotoura, New Zealand.

The Zorb is a double-sectioned ball, with one ball inside the other with a layer of air in between, which acts as shock absorber. The numerous small ropes connecting the inner and outer ball holds the Zorb together.
Generally, Zorbing is performed on gentle slopes, but can also be done on a level surface. There are two different types of Zorbs: Dry Zorb and Wet Zorb. In a Dry Zorb, you will be securely strapped and they rolled down the hill, whereas in a Wet Zorb, you are not strapped and you are encouraged to stand up and run inside the zorb, like an hamster in it's wheel, and remain upright all the way to the bottom. To make it more challenging, warm soapy water is thrown inside the Zorb. Now try balancing.
