Bali Horse Riding on the Ricefields & Beach

About this tour

Ride through Bali's working rice paddies and down to Pig Stone beach on well-cared-for horses. This 1 hour 15 minute journey takes you from the stables through shadowed jungle paths alongside the river, emerging onto a largely quiet stretch of sand where locals gather at dusk. Your guide handles photography and basic instruction, wrapping up with refreshments back at base.

Highlights

• Rice paddies and village life largely unchanged over decades
• Jungle-shaded river path with natural shade throughout

What to expect

You'll start with safety gear (helmet, chaps, boots) and basic instruction at the stables. The route moves through village landscape and rice fields, then follows the river under jungle canopy for a cooler section of riding. The terrain opens onto Pig Stone beach where you'll ride west, cross the river ford, and see the shrine. As the sun lowers, the beach is relatively empty save a handful of surfers and locals. Your guide stays close to help with photos and manage the horses. Back at base, you'll receive soft drinks and fried banana snacks.
