Horse Riding

There aren't that many places to enjoy horse riding in Bali as these magnificent creature are not native to the island. However, there are a few guided tours for riders of all levels. Sessions range from two to three hours and provide a most natural means of transportation to discover some unique sights along Bali beachfronts and quaint back lanes.

By A True Balinese Experience

Balinese Experience is Bali’s leading Balinese Owned Adventure Company. An exciting and dynamic family business, Balinese Experience was established in 1995 to provide locally owned and operated soft adventures with the highest international standards of safety, training and conservation. Balinese Experience began as Ayung River Rafting-the island’s 1st locally owned rafting company-offering the Ayung River’s longest white water adventure, jungle trekking and mountain biking. Mountain biking is offered in the stunning local village (can be combined with rafting) and the exciting Kintamani Volcano and Jatiluwih Rice Paddy rides.

In 2001, Bali Horse Riding joined the stable, and with over 20 horses and beautiful beaches to ride them on, became an instant success. We also have convertible ‘topless’ VW Safaris for you to tour the island on! Check them out on our product pages.


A True Balinese Experience excited to be able to offer so many great adventures all in the one location. That’s a Bali First! No other company can share so much excitement in one place. And best of all-that place is our own village. Alit Yudha, the company’s founder, had a dream to improve the social conditions in the surrounding villages by encouraging tourism. When the company started it had only a handful of people, and now it contributes to employing up to 200 people in and around the beautiful location.

A True Balinese Experience is just north of the Sangeh Monkey Forest, across the river from Ubud in the village of Carang Sari. It’s a scenic drive passing through lots of local life. Our location is perched on the edge of the Ayung River-over 20 hectares of lush fertile grounds including rice paddies, jungles and small plots of cocoa and chillies. The views are amazing-this is definitely one of the most beautiful places in Bali.

Our reliable and friendly staff will welcome you to our home, and with a long history of experience in adventure, you can be assured of a quality, value for money experience. And because we are a family business, we also know how to look after families. Children are welcome and we can also provide extra care for people with special needs. Thanks for visiting our website. Send us an email if you have any questions. We’d love to help you and can’t wait to welcome you to a True Balinese Experience!
