We got through the arrival area in the Baltra airport fairly quickly, paying the fees to get into the park. Once outside the terminal we were greeted by the naturalist guide from our ship, met our fellow passengers, picked up our luggage and boarded a bus for the dock area, where sea lions lounged on our seats. Down at the dock, we all put on life jackets and boarded pangas that were waiting in the water. The pangas took us from the ship to shore every day.
