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.

Fantastic service

Lovely trip. Guide was really good. Glass bottom boat was fun, not a massive variety of marine life to see, just fish, but that’s in natures hands, (top tip is to sit facing outward in semi submarine as a better view) The town where we got the boat is lovely and we had a nice lunch overlooking the water. The zoo was incredibly hot as more inland, lovely birds, wish cages were bigger. The Lemurs were the highlight, great experience, one sat on my head, wish we had longer with them. Good time had

The guide was excellent, the glass bottom boat trip was interesting and the highlight of the day was the Amazonas Park - a short but sweet visit, could do with better directional signage i.e. arrows on the pavements. A 5 minute intro by a park attendant on what they hope to achieve would have been good. but overall very good.

We liked everything, but Agios Nikolaos was too much crowded because of the cruise ships, which were there in Tuesday.

We enjoyed the trip with our family. The glass bottom boat was a lovely experience, the children loved it. I would have given 10/10 if there was just a little more variety in what you could see (we were hoping for a turtle, my son a dolphin as there is a picture on the wall of one). The Amazon as tour was great too, especially the Lemur feeding experience. The TUI representative told us the journey would be an hour and a half, which was long, however it was actually 2 hours which was too long.

Good it you have an outside view if your sat on the inside seat it’s not as good
