How to prevent seasickness

1. Prepare yourself mentally before your trip

Anxiety and stress can increase seasickness. Try to arrive a little early to avoid any risk of stress, this will be a very good point before boarding the ship. Take anti-vomiting medication before boarding if necessary. In addition, fatigue is also known to have a huge impact on seasickness. So don’t hesitate to go to bed early before setting sail.

2. Cover up well during the crossing

It is true that the island of Tenerife has a very pleasant climate. However, at sea, you can quickly feel cold because of the wind, so we advise you to bring light clothes that protect you from the wind. The feeling of cold, besides being unpleasant, is a great accelerator of seasickness.

3. Focus on the horizon

Don’t look at the boat’s movements or its wake to avoid getting dizzy.

4. Eat and drink before and during the trip

It is important to be in the right frame of mind before setting out to sea. Contrary to what you might think, you should have eaten well (but not too heavily) and avoid foods that are too sweet or acidic. Remember to stay well hydrated and avoid alcohol, which can make things worse.

5. Be active

It is important to stay active. Find as many things as possible to distract yourself from the fact that you are prone to seasickness. You are more likely to get seasick when you are sailing, so take advantage of your experience to forget about nausea and discover new horizons by hiring a boat or going on an amazing excursion where you might see dolphins and whales.

6. Stand in the middle of the boat

This is the place where the boat moves the least. You should also avoid entering the cabin, which is too closed and can also lead to seasickness.

7. Consider over-the-counter medication
