Dramamine has a patch that you can put on your body so no ingestion of meds.  I would suggest that.  I have not used them but my husband uses them all the time.  Whale watching is spectacular!  Enjoy!!

I get motion sickness watching movies with the hand held camera. I get motion sickness watching someone else swing! I get motion sickness. I've tried everything.

If you can't get a patch RX from your doctor, the only thing that works is
Bronine. It's by the Dramamine at the grocery store. Start taking it the day before your trip and then every morning and evening. Only thing that works for me and ident make me drowsy.

Enjoy your whale watching! DH and I went in May. Loads of motion sickness-free fun

Thanks, Diana

A little typo up there-- it's Bonine.  Sometimes the brand in Bonnie.  I like it better as well -- but you really need to get the patch.  Depending on the ocean that day of your trip, it can be a nice calm day, or it can be a day like I went, which we refer to as the Whale Barfing Trip!   Ginger Chews also can help.

Ask about the water conditions before you go, and maybe you can stay behind instead of feeding the seagulls!

I hope the water is calm, and you have a wonderful time!

Get a prescription from your doc for a scopolomine patch.  I get seriously seasick without it.
