Who will meet you at the Airport in Galapagos?
Upon the arrival to the Baltra Airport, our guides will be waiting for you with a sign of the ship (M/V Galapagos Legend or M/Y Coral I). They will receive the passengers, check the passengers in the list to verify no one has been left behind, and transport them in the airline's bus to the dock where the vessel is anchored.
