What to expect

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.

Nat Geo Day Tour: The Millenary History of Olive Oil

Approximate itinerary and duration of activitiesIntroduction - 15 minutesWalking tour through the olive trees - 30 minutesPause for questions and raki drink - 15 minutesOlive oil factory tour - 40 minutesOlive oil tasting and questions - 55 minutesCooking demonstration and tastings - 30 minutesPlease note the order of activities may vary at your guide's discretion With millennia of experience behind them, it's no wonder the people of Crete produce some of the finest olive oil in the world. You will appreciate the timeless bond between Cretans and their revered olive trees as you trace the long heritage of olive cultivation on the island. Just outside Kritsa village in the hills of eastern Crete, you'll follow Nikos Plevritakis on a brief walk to his olive groves where some trees are 600-800 years old, and learn about olive cultivation from a true specialist. In the shade of the olive trees, you can try local raki known as ‘tsikoudia' with olives to nibble on while discussing the cultural and societal significance of olive cultivation in Crete. Then it's time to visit a local cooperative factory, to see up close how olives are processed into world-class olive oil. Back on the Olive Path, seize the chance to taste fresh figs, almonds, and grapes, see what the locals are growing, and find out all about the Cretan lifestyle and diet. Then, at an olive farm, you can sample olives, fresh tomatoes, and raki before your olive oil tasting session begins – a great opportunity to learn how to taste oils like a professional and compare the flavor profiles of different varieties. Finish off the day with a cooking lesson on various ways to use olive oil in Cretan cuisine. Authentic dishes, such as tzatziki and Greek salad will feature, and you'll find out why the traditional Cretan diet is so beneficial to health and longevity.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Discover Cretan Farm Life

Small-scale, family-run farms are integral to the Mediterranean diet that Crete is so famous for. A local family will welcome you to their Mitato, a small farmhouse, where you'll be greeted with the genuine warmth of Cretan hospitality. Listen to the local farmer tell the intriguing tale of King Minoas who watched from his observatory, and alerted locals to incoming pirates. Greetings over, it's time for a hands-on bread-making lesson, learning the techniques for typical Cretan bread, made with wheat and barley flour. Then, witness their cheese-making skills using goat's milk from the farm. Next, it's time to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in, helping out with daily farm tasks like feeding the goats, pigs, chickens, and rabbits, and tending to the gardens. The adventure continues with a snail hunt over the mountainside, exclusive to National Geographic travellers, peeking under rocks, and among shrubs and flowers. As the day unfolds, your collected treasures, including snails, eggs, fruit, and vegetables, become the ingredients for lunch. Alongside the family, you'll prepare a feast of local delicacies, all made from the products of your day's work. Finish off the experience with a taste of Crete's spirit, Raki, and why not sing along to their traditional Cretan ‘Mantinades,' - traditional Cretan couplets that express sentiments about Cretan daily life.
