At just IDR 25,000 per item per day, Hey Bali has helped 1,000+ tourists explore Bali bag-free since 2024. BALI, Indonesia - June 3, 2025 - While Bali continues to attract millions of travelers each year with its world-famous beaches, jungle retreats, and vibrant street life, one persistent and underreported challenge still haunts many visitors: what to do with their luggage after check-out, before a late flight, or during transit between accommodations. Dragging suitcases through humid alleys in Seminyak, stashing backpacks behind cafés in Ubud, or being turned away by hotels unwilling to store bags—these are all-too-common experiences. While Bali continues to attract millions of travelers each year, one underreported challenge still haunts many visitors: what to do with their bags after check-out. Recognizing this widespread pain point, Hey Bali, a locally owned Bali luggage storage service based in Kuta, has stepped in with a flexible, 24/7 solution. More Than Just a Storage Locker Unlike app-based luggage storage platforms that rely on scattered third-party locations, Hey Bali offers something more personal and flexible. Operating from its central storage hub at Jl. Kubu Anyar No. 88x, Kuta, just 10 minutes from Ngurah Rai International Airport, Hey Bali sends its team to collect and store luggage from virtually anywhere on the island—including Canggu, Seminyak, Legian, Sanur, Ubud, and beyond. Bags can later be picked up directly at the airport, hotel, or another agreed location, allowing travelers to make the most of their time in Bali without being burdened by heavy belongings. 'We realized the last day in Bali is often the most stressful,' said Giostanovlatto founder of Hey Bali. 'People have hours to kill but nowhere to safely leave their bags. That's where we come in—we meet travelers where they are.' Booking Made Simple—No App, No Hassle Hey Bali was designed with the principle that great service shouldn't require another app download. Travelers can reserve luggage pickup or delivery through WhatsApp (+62 811 281 407), email, or phone call—all handled by responsive, English-speaking staff. The service is especially popular among digital nomads, solo travelers, and families navigating the logistical puzzle of moving between hotels, flights, and destinations within a single day. Flat, Affordable Pricing—No Surprises Hey Bali keeps its pricing transparent and tourist-friendly. Travelers pay a flat rate of IDR 25,000 per item per day, equivalent to approximately $1.60 USD—with no hidden fees, hourly limits, or surprise charges. Airport delivery is included for most routes within standard hours, and custom arrangements are available upon request. 24/7 Coverage, Island-Wide Reach Though currently operating from a single physical location, Hey Bali serves customers across the island with round-the-clock operations. Late arrival in Denpasar? Early checkout in Ubud? Evening yoga class in Canggu before a midnight flight? Hey Bali ensures your bags are stored, delivered, or picked up right on schedule. 'We're not just storing bags—we're giving people their freedom back,' said Giostanovlatto 'The freedom to enjoy one more meal, one more swim, one more adventure—without the weight.' Trusted by Travelers from Around the World Since launching in 2024, Hey Bali has supported over 1,000 travelers from countries including Australia, Germany, the U.S., Japan, and beyond. Whether it's storing surfboards, strollers, backpacks, or suitcases, the service has earned praise for its friendly staff, fast response times, and absolute reliability. Many customers discover Hey Bali through word-of-mouth, local recommendations, and digital nomad forums, making it one of the best-kept secrets for smart, light-footed travel in Bali.

I Put These Versatile Travel Pants Through Desert Hikes and a 6-hour Flight—Now, They Never Leave My Carry-on
After sitting in an economy seat for six hours, I was curious: how on earth could these pants still be comfortable? It wasn't my first time wearing these magical pants; I had just tested them out two weeks before the flight on a nine-mile hike near Joshua Tree National Park, where they also kept me cool and comfortable. However, any frequent flier is well aware that sitting nearly still for several hours in economy is a different level of difficulty, so when I arrived at my destination with that same level of comfort, I knew the pants were something unusual. Whether it was the cramped plane seats or the volatile temperatures and dusty trails of Joshua Tree, these pants have proven to be a major winner. I had picked up Kuhl's Radikl Pants for the hiking trip, and was immediately impressed with their functionality and versatility. Little did I know that in addition to hiking, they'd become a permanent staple in my suitcase for year-round trips. Whatever the occasion, the Radikl Pants deliver. In fact, I'm wearing them right now as I write this. $109 at REI $109 at I never thought I'd find high-tech, durable hiking pants under $150, but the Radikl Pants have exceeded expectations in both quality and value. Available in a variety of colors—from the graphite-inspired Carbon to the neutral, light-khaki Fossil—there's a shade for everyone. The inclusive sizing ranges from a 28 to 42-inch waist and a 28 to 36-inch inseam, offered in both classic and tapered fits. Lightweight, quick-drying, and trail-tough, these pants have been a reliable companion for hiking and travel. In one instance, when a seatmate accidentally spilled a drink near me, the pants dried quickly and cleaned up with ease. "The Radikl has quickly become my favorite pants for competing, hiking, and teaching," a self-described seasoned adventurer shared in one of the 3,400 five-star reviews on the brand's website. Another shopper added, 'They are lightweight [and] durable, and I love the stretch panel that flexes when I move. I've used these for work in the Southern summer heat, as well as the West Coast desert.' $109 at REI $109 at I reached out to Kuhl's design team to see if they'd share the secret behind what makes these pants so comfortable, even in challenging conditions. Fortunately, they offered some insight: the pants were designed by completely deconstructing the garment from the ground up. 'Traditionally speaking, pants were designed for standing; so in the 90s, we introduced pants for people on the move,' Kevin Boyle, Kuhl's head of design, shared with Travel + Leisure. 'This was unprecedented at the time. People with active lifestyles finally had pants that could keep up.' Boyle says the Radikl Pants also feature a 3-D-articulated knee design, which provides a greater range of motion without the constriction of traditional pants, and the structure of the pants themselves is designed for forward-motion activities, such as walking or hiking. I've noticed the extra range of motion when I'm hiking up inclines or navigating subway steps in a city—the stretch at the joints is helpful and welcomed. The team also shared that they developed exclusive fabrics featuring strategically placed stretch to ensure all-day comfort without sacrificing versatility. Best of all, the material is incredibly durable—tough enough to be washed in a sink and ready to wear the next day—and includes built-in technologies like advanced UV protection. $109 at REI $109 at After nearly 25 years of traveling and visiting over 30 different countries, the perfect travel wardrobe always seemed to be a mystery. I'd often find clothing that was functionally great but not visually appealing, or great-looking clothes that weren't durable enough for an airport. The Kuhl Radikl Pants changed the game for me, with high-quality travelware that's comfortable yet fashionable enough to fit in a variety of scenarios. If you're looking to trade in your stiff travel pants for something way more durable and comfortable, we've got you covered. Keep scrolling for more travel-ready hiking pants at Amazon—all under $40.
