Hi Ant, You don't need a visa for the Tirana Island trip, the small harbour you travel to is in Sharm and takes about 15 - 20 mins in the shuttle bus. We were picked up at 9.00am and were back at the hotel around 13.30. I was informed that the maximum amount of people they take on the boat was 28, although there were probably only 20 the day we went. It's great boat with a 'dry' upper deck, no shoes or wet clothes allowed, where everyone bases themselves whilst at sea and then a lower deck where you get ready to snorkel, if that's what you want to do. Plenty of shady areas to sit and also an area to top the tan up!
The sea was very calm and my 10 year old daughter loved the trip, she even snorkelled (using a life jacket, provided on the boat). Hope this helps.
Hi 1 of Seven, There is a quad bike excursion from the hotel, with First Choice, but I'm not sure how much it was.
Hi Louise, All the evening entertainment is outdoors, including the kids disco and entertainment and all takes place in the Ampitheatre. They had professional singers, comedians, 'X' Factor evenings, bingo, all sorts and if it wasn't something you liked, you could go and drink up in the main bar or sports bar.
Cheers
Martyn
