Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Small-Group Whale Watch with Marine Biologist in Cabo San Lucas?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
