About this tour
Ride along Mertasari Beach's wide sandy shore, a quiet stretch near Kuta where horses move at a gentle walking pace through shallow water and firm sand. The 2-hour experience pairs coastal views with sea breeze, guided by local handlers who keep things relaxed and beginner-friendly. Sunrise and sunset rides offer the best light for photography, and you'll notice fewer tourists here than on busier Bali beaches.

What to expect
You'll meet your horse on the beach and spend roughly two hours moving slowly along the shoreline. Most of the ride stays at walking pace with occasional light trotting; handlers lead or accompany you throughout. The sand is firm near the water's edge, making for stable footing. Waves lap at the horse's hooves whilst you take in views across the bay. The beach feels calm and spacious—nowhere near as packed as Kuta itself. Early morning or late afternoon rides catch softer light and quieter conditions.
