Frequently Asked Questions

What is Zorbing?

Zorbing is riding down a hill within a giant clear ball

What types of experiences are available?

Harness Zorbing

Max 2 riders climb into a ball and get attached to opposite sides of the ball using a harness system. As the ball is rolled down the hill, you travel with it, over and over again!

Hydro Zorbing

Max 2 riders climb into a ball. Water is added and the ball is rolled. You are not attached to anything, but will remain in the bottom of the ball as it rolls, and you will slip and slide around, a bit like a washing machine. Expect to get very wet!

Water Walking

1 rider gets into a single skinned ball which is inflated around them. It’s then onto the pool. Try to walk on water whilst remaining balanced. This is a difficult challenge for anyone, but is great for children.

Am I old enough?

Hydro Zorbonauts must be 7yrs old
Harness Zorbonauts must be 12yrs old

Parental consent is required for Zorbonauts under the age of 18.

Am I too old?

No. You’re never too old to have fun. However, every Zorbonaut requires a certain level of fitness to get in and out of the ball. (See our Terms and Conditions for further details)

Is there a weight restriction?

Yes. It is 18stone (115Kg) per person

How do I book?

To make a booking please see the Bookings Section

Can I just turn up on the day?

Can I buy gift vouchers?

Yes. Gift vouchers can be purchased online. You decide which experience you want, and we will send you the appropriate voucher which can be redeemed at any time. (Subject to Availability. Vouchers  valid for 10 months from purchase date)

How long do I allow for my Zorbing experience?

Mobile Zorbing Wales endeavors to give all customers their Zorbing experience within their allocated time slot but please allow a waiting time of up to 2 hours during peak sessions.

*The actual ride time is approximately 1-2mins depending on the location and over a distance of 160-250m

What should I wear?

Harness Zorbing – It is recommended that you wear long sleeves and trousers as you will be wearing a full body harness system which can cause irritation to bear skin.

Hydro Zorbing -  It is recommended that you wear a long sleeved top and trousers. This will help you slide around inside the ball

What will I need to bring on the day?

• Suitable clothing for your choice of Zorbing experience
• Spare change of clothes and a towel for Aqua Zorbing and Water Walker
• Some extra cash just incase you want another roll (Subject to availability)
• Some mates / family members to share the fun with
• A camera to record the moment.

What if the weather is bad?
