Swimming with horses
When the swell is low and high tide is waning, this is the perfect time to go swimming the horses on Nihiwatu® beach.
Down at the stables, our horsemen will match you up with a horse fitted out with a bareback pad for grip and comfort and lead you down to the water in front of the boat house. The horses love to cool themselves in the water; it is a wonderful feeling to be on their backs as they wade splash and play in the ocean.
When the swell causes their hooves to leave the ground and they start to swim a little you feel yourself float momentarily above their backs, it’s quite exhilarating! Home green with envy!
