At All Sea Charters, we are dedicated to delivering world-class whale-watching experiences in the stunning coastal waters of Western Australia.
To ensure every guest has a comfortable and enjoyable journey, we offer anti-nausea wristbands on all our tours. Simply order your wristband during the checkout process, or ask to purchase a wristband on any of our tours.
These wristbands can be a lifesaver for those prone to motion sickness, but they’re just one of the many ways to ensure you feel great at sea.
How Anti-Nausea Wristbands Work
Anti-nausea wristbands use acupressure to prevent motion sickness.
They apply pressure to a specific point on your wrist (the Nei-Kuan point), which is believed to reduce nausea. These wristbands are a drug-free and easy-to-use option that can be worn for the entire tour, ensuring a comfortable experience for both adults and children.
At All Sea Charters, we provide these wristbands to help guests who may be sensitive to the boat’s motion, ensuring they enjoy every moment on the water.
Other Ways to Prevent Seasickness
While anti-nausea wristbands are effective, there are additional steps you can take to prevent seasickness during your whale-watching tour.
Choose the Right Spot on the Boat
To minimise the motion, try to stay in the middle of the boat where the swaying is less intense. The front and back of the boat experience more movement, so the middle section offers more stability.
Focus on the Horizon
If you start feeling uneasy, look out at the horizon. This simple act helps stabilise your inner ear, reducing the disorienting effects of motion that can lead to nausea.
Eat Light and Stay Hydrated
Before the tour, have a light meal and avoid heavy, greasy foods, which can make you feel worse. Bring a bottle of water on board and take small sips throughout the trip to stay hydrated.
Take Over-the-Counter Medications
Medications from your local pharmacy may help prevent seasickness. If you’re prone to motion sickness, take the medication as directed by your pharmacist before the tour begins for the best results.
Get Fresh Air
If you’re feeling queasy, head outside and breathe in the fresh sea air. Avoid staying in enclosed spaces, as they can feel stuffy and make nausea worse.
Reach Out to Our Friendly Crew
Even with the best preparations, sometimes motion sickness can still catch you off guard.
If that happens, don’t hesitate to let one of our friendly crew members know. They are experienced and trained to assist guests who feel unwell. Whether it’s providing additional tips, offering more wristbands, or guiding you to a spot where the motion is less noticeable, the crew is always ready to help.
What to Do If You Start Feeling Seasick
If you begin to feel seasick, here are some additional steps you can take:
- Breathe slowly and deeply to relax your body.
- Sit in a stable area of the boat and look at the horizon.
- Sip water or ginger ale to settle your stomach.
- Wear your anti-nausea wristband (if you haven’t already) for extra relief.
Enjoy a Comfortable Whale-Watching Experience
Whale watching is an incredible experience, and we want to make sure seasickness doesn’t get in the way of enjoying it. By taking simple precautions like wearing an anti-nausea wristband, focusing on the horizon, and staying hydrated, you can prevent motion sickness and fully enjoy the day.
Remember, if you start feeling unwell, our crew is here to help! At All Sea Charters, we’re committed to making sure you have a safe, comfortable, and memorable adventure on the water.
