It's all about Crete's wild side on this tour. You'll come face-to-face with monkeys, meerkats lemurs and more at Amazonas Park nature reserve and see a world below the waves with a glass-bottom boat trip. And in between, there's free time to chill out in Agios Nikolaos.

Your destination for the morning is Amazonas Park, an animal refuge, where you'll get up-close to some of the world's most unusual, beautiful and endangered animals. You'll also find out about their rainforest environments, and how we can help with conservation efforts.

At Agios Nikolaos town, you'll have a couple of hours to shop or grab lunch overlooking Mirabello Bay. Next, hop on to a glass-bottom boat for a trip in the bay. You'll glide out into the bay aboard a semi-submarine which features windows beneath the surface. Kids and adults will have a great time spotting the likes of loggerhead sea turtles and multicoloured fish darting around the rocks.

The trip was lovely and the guide amazing. So friendly, informative and was great with my little boy. Only downside was the animal park was a little small and a very steep hill. Difficult to manage in places with a toddler

Chrissie was amazing throughout this trip; very friendly, warm and informative. The glass boat trip was excellent for the children to see lots of fish and going on the top deck for the second half let us take in the scenery. The Amazonas Park was very good too, although it would have been nice to have more time there. Lots of animals and the opportunity to feed the lemurs. Would definitely book again.

The boat was great for our 17 month old but the Amazonas park wasn’t good it’s difficult with a buggy as it’s very hilly and you can’t take younge children re in to the Larmas it’s not what was advertised. We also was placed in the middle of a protest by the guide the tour should never have gone ahead we got peeper sprayed including the baby I am very disappointed with TUI to allow the trip to go ahead we should have been given the opportunity to change it as the guide knew all about the protest

Price was fair and I felt we had value for money. The guide was good, unexpected trip and time in Agios nikolaos. The zoo is small and very very hilly, which would help if that was flagged as anyone with mobility restrictions would really struggle. But a great day out.

Overall a very good day out. The glass bottom boat trip was enjoyable and we got to see a lot of fish and interesting rock bed formations.This was followed by a nice free time period which allowed us to grab a bite to eat and browse the local shops and take in the scenery. The second part of the day was the visit to Amazonas Park and my partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the park and we also very much liked our friendly and highly informative tour guide, she was knowledgeable and very helpful.

Loved the Amazonas experience and time in Agios Nikolas. The glass bottom boat was OK ... we were facing inwards and couldn't see very much. Being seated facing away would have been a very different experience.
