Seasickenss

Cook Island's position is just south of the often treacherous Tweed River Bar. We strongly recommend taking a seasickness remedy 30 minutes before boarding (as well as the night before if you want extra insurance) and bringing the rest with you. Travacalm original, Travalcalm HO and Kwells are 3 recommended types. Ginger/Natural remedy does not work.
