The port at Baltra is just 5 minutes from the airport. There were some benches at the dock, but most of the seats were taken by sleeping sea lions. They weren't too bothered with (or interested in) us, until I sat beside one of them. I guess she thought she should have the whole bench to her self.
We then boarded a small dinghy to take us out to the boat, called the Galapagos Adventurer V. That is actually just the name that the tour company uses for the boat (they rent the boat, they don't own it). The local name of the boat is similar: Galapagos Adventure. The boat is very nice. The interior has nice wood floors and a very nice dining area. Our room is at the back of the boat, which is both good and bad, but mostly good (no complaints). Compared to some of the other rooms, ours had large windows which let in the sunlight, and a small sitting area. Being at the back the boat also means that we are very close to the engine and the generator, each of which can be loud. The boat has a few sun chairs on the foredeck and a semi-covered patio area at the back. We had lunch immediately as the boat left Baltra.
