The team at Zorb rides in Westport House County Mayo worked closely with the original inventors of this crazy sport in designing the zorbing track and site providing zorbing balls of the highest quality. The Hydro – the tamer of the two rides is an invigorating mixture of a waterslide and rollercoaster ride. This wet and wild experience involves one, two or three riders entering the zorb at the top of the hill. 20-25 litres of warm water is added, the door to the zorb is secured and launched downhill. No dizziness, just good clean fun!The Harness – the more extreme ride using a suspended seat harnesses with one or two riders who are securely harnessed inside the ball before being sent rolling head over heels downhill to watch the grass and sky go spinning past.Participants must be at least eight years old. Everyday clothing can be worn for harness zorbing as long as shoulders are covered and socks must be worn. Shorts and t-shirt are all that's needed for hydro zorbing as well as a towel and a change of clothes for after. Zorbing is subject to weather conditions, wind speed and directions, torrential rainfall and temperatures below 6°C. Zorbing operations are on a first come, first served basis but bookings for large groups should be made in advance.
