Combine a tranquil hour riding along Saba Bay's black sand with a two-hour rafting run on the Ayung River. This full-day package from Ubud pairs village and coastal riding with guided whitewater through Bali's dramatic river gorge.
You start before the heat, collected from Ubud and driven toward Saba Bay where the beach's black sand stretches in a low arc. A calm stable waits; saddles creak and horses sniff the salt air as you step into a paced hour of riding through a Balinese village and then along a ten-kilometer coastline. The sea pulls at the horizon while the horse moves steadily, offering a different rhythm to island travel.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.
Operated by Bali Day Tour · Ubud, Bali
You start before the heat, collected from Ubud and driven toward Saba Bay where the beach's black sand stretches in a low arc. A calm stable waits; saddles creak and horses sniff the salt air as you step into a paced hour of riding through a Balinese village and then along a ten-kilometer coastline. The sea pulls at the horizon while the horse moves steadily, offering a different rhythm to island travel.
Later the bus threads inland toward the Ayung River, Bali's longest river, which has cut deep channels through volcanic tuff and carved the cliffs around Ubud for millennia. The lunch spot sits above the river; rice terraces and stone carvings remind you that this waterway helped shape local irrigation (subak) and sacred landscapes. On the river the current has personality—at times playful, at times insistent—pushing your raft through Class II–III rapids framed by jungle, limestone outcrops and occasional temple shrines.
Practical guidance: plan for a full day (approx. 6–8 hours), bring swimwear, a change of clothes and reef-safe sunscreen. Operators provide helmets, lifejackets, towels and showers; weight limits and health restrictions apply—maximum horse weight ~90 kg, minimum age usually 5. Wear closed-toe shoes for the horse and quick-dry footwear for rafting. Hydrate before you start and let guides seat you on horses according to experience.
This package pairs two distinct modes of travel—quiet coastal riding and energetic whitewater—so expect both calm shoreline time and adrenaline on the Ayung.
Expect about 6–8 hours total including hotel transfer, 1 hour horse ride, lunch and approximately 2 hours of rafting.
No — guides accommodate beginners and control the pace; inform staff of experience level at booking.
