Ah, the Seasickness! 🤪 A small shadow that rarely appears and only for some travelers.
Motion sickness on a San Blas sailing trip is something many guests worry about — but in reality, it’s usually light and easy to manage. Below, we share a few practical tips to help you enjoy every moment sailing between Colombia and Panama.
The Science of Seasickness
Why do some suffer from the dreaded dizziness? Seasickness is nothing more than a game between your ears and eyes, generating confusion in your sensory system. The ship moves, your ears feel it, but your eyes sometimes don’t see the same. But don’t worry. We have the perfect tricks to keep you balanced!
Tricks for a Seasick-Free Trip: How to prepare?
1- Avoid alcohol consumption before sailing, as it can increase the chances of seasickness. Save the party for the islands or the mainland!
3- Don’t fear Adventure: Remember that this is an adventure trip, and facing small obstacles, such as motion sickness, is part of the excitement.
4- Relaxed Attitude: Maintain a positive attitude. Relaxing and breathing properly can reduce the symptoms of seasickness. Don’t let yourself be influenced by myths!
5- Pills: If you are really worried of getting seasick and want to take control, Mareol or Dramamine can be your allies. We recommend taking 1 pill 2 hours before setting sail.
Set sail without fear! How to control seasickness on board?
1- Captain’s Position: Sit in an area of the boat where you can see the horizon and keep your eyes fixed to synchronize your senses and avoid motion sickness.
2- Eat Smart: Keep your stomach happy. Avoid heavy foods before setting sail, and enjoy small, light meals. Crackers or ginger can also help calm your stomach! Take them with you.
3- Water is your friend: Stay hydrated. Water is the best friend to combat Seasickness.
4- Music, Talks, and Smiles: Have interesting conversations, listen to music, and smile. Distraction is the key to keeping seasickness at bay.
5- Horizontal Rest: If seasickness persists, lying in a horizontal position can relieve the sensations. Gravity stops putting pressure on your body and can help you recover.
