  1. 5.0 Dolphin Quest (93 reviews)

    Dolphin Quest image
    I took my 84 year old mother on the tour. She had never seen dolphins in the wild and in the bay we saw lots of them. It was a cloudy, cool and windy day and even though we had layers on we made use of the blankets that they wonderfully had on board as well. The tour guides were wonderful with facts about the dolphins and information on some of the beautiful homes in the area. Because it is a pontoon type vessel the tour would be wonderful for families, although it was all adults on our tour. You will pay to park at John's Pass where the tour is based, but we had no trouble finding a place to park. If you book ahead of time the ticket area is on the same level as the boat and in the buildings right behind the dock. There is a restroom there as well. See more..
  2. 5.0 Lori's Soap & Sponge Market (33 reviews)
    - A gem!
    Spent < 1 hour Speciality & Gift Shops
    Lori's Soap & Sponge Market image
    My sister and I stop in at Lori's on every trip to the area (about once a year), and buy enough to last until the next visit. Follow your nose - you can find this shop just by sniffing your way there! A wonderful selection of olive oil and goat's milk fragrances, very gentle on even the most sensitive skin. Family owned and operated, good prices in store, but there is a website to order online. I find the prices prohibitive online - buy enough in the store to last you! Parking is free to Madeira Beach residents with a municipal sticker, otherwise you have to pay. See more..
