Horseback riding in Bali is a fun and exciting way to enjoy the island’s outback – from paddy trails to quiet stretches of sandy coastlines – all from the saddle of a horse. There are notable stables near secluded beaches where horse-riding is most popular, such as the black sand coasts of Berawa in Canggu, and further up north towards Pererenan Beach and Tanah Lot, where you’ll find the unique combination of rice fields and coastal views.
However, there are also increasingly popular horseback trails in the island’s east, central and northern areas, where beginners are welcome, be it children or adults, with tours lasting up to two hours. You can ride local breeds of Bali pony, or Sumba sandalwood crossbreeds, and even go for a sunset beach ride which can be a highlight of your honeymoon. Retreats up north also offer horse-riding activities through mangroves and unspoiled Bali wilderness. Here’s where to experience horseback riding in Bali for your next equestrian joyride.
