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 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 multicolored fish darting around the rocks.

Highly recommended
Our hotel was specifically added to the route. The tour guide was very friendly and nice. The highlight was the zoo and the lemur feeding. Very cute, trusting creatures. The bird cages mostly seemed very small. Still recommended.

Fantastic Day trip
Picked up on time. Very well organised. It was as advertised. Feeding the lemurs was a great experience. At Agios Nikolaos there was free time to look around. It was very picturesque.

Amazonas was great but..
Amazonas Park was fantastic! The park is not just another zoo and has a lovely story behind it. The lemur experience was magical. The boat trip however was very disappointing, seen more tyres than fish. Had the trip only been Amazonas Park and Agios I would have given it 5 stars

Well worth it!
We were the first collected so the initial journey ended up being 2hrs with all the stops to collect. This was the only downside. Tour guide was a lovely woman fluent in English and German. She explained various landmarks and was super engaging. The glass bottom boat was lovely, despite one of our group having a touch of sea sickness. He was able to use the on board bathroom and get some air on the top deck. Agios Nikolas was beautiful. Lovely beach for a swim if you have swimwear. Twins pizza was gorge spot for lunch. Def not just pizza. Amazonas park was amazing. I would not recommend driving more than 45mins just for it, as it is small (maybe 45mins outside the lemurs), but this was a perfect tour day activity. Feeding the lemurs was a bucket list item my kids (and I) will remember forever. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

Amazonas Park and Glass Bottom Boat Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Heraklion.
How much does Amazonas Park and Glass Bottom Boat Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $79 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Heraklion usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Amazonas Park and Glass Bottom Boat Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Heraklion is not rushed.
Is Amazonas Park and Glass Bottom Boat Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Heraklion, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Amazonas Park and Glass Bottom Boat Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Amazonas Park and Glass Bottom Boat Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Amazonas Park and Glass Bottom Boat Tour?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Heraklion can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Heraklion and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Amazonas Park and Glass Bottom Boat Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Heraklion within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Heraklion?
+
On Outty we rank every Heraklion experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Knossos - Zeus Cave - Old Traditional Villages-Olive Oil Factory, Knossos & Lasithi Plateau: Zeus Cave, Villages, Olive Oil Tour, Quad Safari: Off-Road Day Tour with Dinner & Transfers. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Heraklion?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Heraklion?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Amazonas Park and Glass Bottom Boat Tour?
+
Included: Transport; Escort; and Admission fees. Not included: Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Amazonas Park and Glass Bottom Boat Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 76 listed pickup locations in and around Heraklion. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Amazonas Park and Glass Bottom Boat Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in German and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Amazonas Park and Glass Bottom Boat Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
