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.
Horses are integral to the soul of Sumba and NIHI®’s exceptional equestrian facility, Sandalwood Stables, offers a range of exceptional equine experiences for horse lovers, beginner through to advanced riders. Our team has handpicked our beautiful herd of local horses, ready to carry you off into the sunset and beyond. The original breed of the local Sumba pony comes from Mongolian and Arab bloodlines, brought to Sumba for trading in exchange for sandalwood and spices. Though a small breed, their genetic makeup makes for an extremely agile and highly spirited horse.
