What to expect
A trip that combines traditional Crete with its wild side. You'll drive through scenic landscapes and wander through the pretty harbour town of Agios Nikolaos – with an optional market visit. But then there's the twist to the tale with a visit to Amazonas Park nature reserve.After pick-up at your hotel, you'll head to Agios Nikolaos, where you'll have a couple of hours to explore on your own. Pick up tasty treats or souvenirs at the street market, stop for a drink in one of the waterfront cafés or gaze into Lake Voulismeni, which local legend says is bottomless.Next up, we'll head towards Mirabello Bay in the northeast of the island. Your destination is Amazonas Park, an animal refuge, where you will come face-to-face with 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.

4 hours stuck on a coach to get there and back . Market not worth seeing but Agios Nicholas worth the visit . Nature reserve poor but good experience with the lemurs .

Coach journey was fine, the market we were taken to was very poor. A couple of stalls with funky smelling clothing just in piles on tables, a further few stalls of fruit and veg. We were told the market would have craft items and souvenirs but there weren’t any. Amazonas park was good but very small and mostly just birds. We spent an hour of time at the park sat in the cafe waiting for the group.

The market was very disappointing. I expected more a lot of cheap clothes and veg. I was hoping for a much bigger variety of stalls. It was just a flea market. The nature reserve was OK but very hilly in parts

Too many pick up points and so ridiculous long transfer time - too long in agios Nickolas and the animal sanctuary took minutes to see - not value for money - use smaller vehicles and see more sights please

The visit to Amazonas was brilliant, we didn’t realise that we would be feeding the Lemurs, so that made it extra special. The time we had in Agios Nicolaos was lovely, being able to explore the town and chill by the lake

Not many information given in English but overall experience very good, enjoyed free time in Agios Nikolaos and great visit to Amazonas Park with the little one. Definietly recommend if you want to spend some free time in town and visit the Amazonas on the way back feeding lemurs :)

Amazon park was good and just the right amount of time there. Felt 3 hours was too long in the town.

Market was like a jumble sale so preferred to wander around the shops in Ag. Nicholaos town. The zoo is exceptionally steep and some struggled in extreme heat to reach the lemur enclosure but once there it was a pleasure to feed them.

Trip was good but no mention of travel times. We were collected at 08.20 but didn't arrive at the market until 10.45. I don't mind the travel but a journey that took us 2hrs 25 mins takes only around 45 minutes via car. This should be mentioned on the trip info as that long on a hot coach isn't fun at all

Feeding lemurs was fun but lasted about 10mins and was crammed Wednesday Market was full of fake clothing brands and got through in about 10mins again Pretty views in town but spoiled by massive cruise ship in the docks Tour guide was a bit absent for most of the trip

The whole excursion was excellent! We enjoyed a couple of hours around the market town of Agios Nikolais and then the TUI bus took us to Amazonas nature park which we loved. We especially enjoyed feeding the ring tailed lemurs.
