How to Avoid Seasickness on a Punta Cana Fishing Trip
Worried about getting seasick while deep sea fishing in Punta Cana? Use these captain-approved tips to feel better and enjoy your trip.
Seasickness is one of the biggest worries for first-time deep sea fishing guests. The good news: a little preparation can make a huge difference, and most guests do just fine when they follow a few simple tips.
Prepare the Night Before
Avoid heavy drinking the night before your trip. Alcohol, little sleep, and dehydration can make motion sickness much worse. Get rest and drink water before your fishing morning.
Eat a Light Breakfast
Do not go out on an empty stomach, but avoid greasy or heavy foods. A light breakfast like toast, fruit, crackers, or eggs is usually better than a big resort buffet plate.
Consider Motion Sickness Medicine
Many guests take motion sickness medicine the night before and again before the trip, following the instructions on the package. If you are unsure, ask your doctor or pharmacist before your vacation.
Stay Outside and Watch the Horizon
Fresh air helps. Stay outside when possible, avoid staring at your phone, and look toward the horizon. Your body feels better when your eyes and balance system agree on what is happening.
