The Experience

Before You Go

Observe weight limits

Horses have a 90 kg limit and the zipline enforces a 35 kg minimum—confirm your weight at booking to avoid day-of issues.

Time for light and views

Schedule the zipline in the morning for the best light and higher chances of seeing Mount Agung; afternoons bring more clouds and wind.

Footwear matters

Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes for the stable and low-impact walking around platforms and village paths.

Protect gear from spray and rain

Bring a small waterproof bag for camera and phone—tropical showers and sea spray are common.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Walk the quieter lanes around Tegallalang for views of small family-run subak plots and coffee stalls.
  • At Saba Beach, a short walk east leads to rocky vantage points with clearer views of Mount Agung on good days.

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque (in upland village areas)
  • Coastal kingfishers and shorebirds along Saba Beach

Conservation Note

Stay on established paths, avoid feeding wildlife, and support operators who practice humane horse care and minimize plastic waste to reduce impact.

The Tegallalang terraces are part of Bali’s Subak irrigation tradition — a cooperative system rooted in 9th–10th century water temples that shapes rice cultivation and community life.
