Once a day our team of sumba horses
come galloping down NIHI’s endless stretch
of beach to swim with our guests.

Experience the thrill of connecting with your horse as they wade, splash, and play in the saltwater waves.
As the tide recedes, meet our Sumba ponies on Nihiwatu®️ beach for a peaceful bareback ride in the Indian Ocean. Your guide will lead you into the crystal-clear waters by the Boathouse, where both you and your horse can enjoy the refreshing ocean.

A truly unique and iconic NIHI®️ Sumba experience

As the swell lowers and high tide wanes, meet our Sumba ponies on Nihiwatu® beach for a bareback horse ride in the waves of the Indian Ocean.

Feel at ease as your horseman leads you down into the crystal clear waters in front of the Boathouse. Revel in the relaxed yet spirited energy of your ride, as our horses thoroughly enjoy the act of wading through waves and cooling off in the refreshing ocean.
