Enjoying a cruise along Hawaii's coastline is one of the best ways to experience the islands' natural beauty. Whether you're aboard the Spirit of Aloha—the newest and largest catamaran boarding along Waikiki Beach—for a Friday fireworks dinner cruise or a sunset cocktail experience, these tips will help you stay comfortable throughout your journey.
Keep the Horizon in Sight
Maintaining visual focus on the horizon helps orient your body as it adjusts to the boat's movement. When possible, face forward rather than sideways to reduce the disconnect between what you see and what your inner ear senses.
Limit Screen Time
Avoid prolonged use of cameras, phones, or reading materials while on the water. Looking down at screens can worsen dizziness and balance issues by conflicting with the motion your body is experiencing.
Manage Heat and Hydration
Stay out of direct sunlight when possible and drink plenty of water. Dehydration can trigger or worsen seasickness symptoms, so keep a water bottle handy throughout your cruise.
Seek Fresh Air
Getting outside air can provide significant relief if you start feeling unwell. Try lying down and closing your eyes if symptoms begin. Remaining calm is important, as anxiety can exacerbate symptoms.
Additionally, avoiding strong odors—such as engine exhaust or heavy perfumes—may help reduce nausea.
