Horseback Ride on Bali's Black Sand Beach: Ubud to Blangsinga Day Tour

The first light of the morning catches on wet black grains as the private car eases down a coastal lane. Horses shift their weight and steam in the cool breeze; the ocean hisses against a strip of volcanic sand so dark it drinks the light. For 30 minutes the horse and rider move in a slow rhythm—hooves printing a contrast onto a shoreline born of molten rock and sea. This is not the postcard white-sand Bali most visitors expect; it’s a raw, tactile coastline that frames an itinerary equal parts nature and culture.
