We recommend you leave your main luggage in Kuching and take a smaller bag on the tour to Batang Ai. There is limited luggage space in the boats to take large suitcases or bags, so only take what you need for the 4 day tour. Most hotels and guesthouses in Kuching will store your luggage when you go on overnight trips.
