Zorbing is an exciting extreme sports activity that involves moving inside a large transparent plastic sphere. In this activity, participants enter a specially designed plastic ball and experience a unique experience by rolling downhill. Zorbing can usually be done on land or in water and offers participants an adrenaline-filled adventure. This activity, which you can participate alone or as a couple, offers the opportunity to spend fun time in nature.

Zorbing can be done in two different ways: on land and in water. In land zorbing, the participant climbs to the top of a certain slope in a plastic ball and quickly rolls down. Water zorbing, on the other hand, is usually done in a large pool or pond. The participant tries to maintain balance while rolling in the water and struggles against the waves of the water. This activity offers great fun to the participants, both physically and mentally.

Zorbing is generally considered a safe activity, but just like other extreme sports, certain rules and safety precautions must be observed. Zorbing originated in New Zealand in the 1970s and has rapidly increased in popularity since then. The fatality rate of zorbing is quite low, with only one recorded death. However, it is important to have your health checked and use safety equipment before doing zorbing. If two people are going to enter the same ball, they are secured with ties to prevent them from colliding. It should be noted that since Zorbing is an activity that requires intense physical effort, it is more appropriate for people without health problems to participate.

Zorbing is an activity that can be done in many different countries around the world. Each country offers different landscapes and natural beauties, making the zorbing experience unforgettable. Here are the top 10 countries to do zorbing:
