You can hear the surf before you see the horses: a steady, bracing rhythm as waves dare the shoreline and ponies pick a soft path along black volcanic sand. The ride begins on a low ridge of beach, with the silhouette of Gunung Agung far inland and Nusa Penida rising like a distant island anchor. Guides walk alongside, steadying reins and pointing out a carved temple doorway or a fisherman hauling nets.
