Well, just go to the river port and book them there!

Here's a chapter from our book: http://waytorussia.net/book

Irkutsk /
River Terminal

There is also a river terminal where you can take a boat to Olkhon every Monday from July to end August and sometimes on Wednesday in the last week of July and the first week of August. There are also 3 boats daily to Listvyanka from there. The departures to Listvyanka are from Raketa Rechnoy Vokzal terminal Prospekt Marshala Zhukova 98B in Solnechny district – it’s better to arrive there at least an hour before departure. You can buy the tickets directly at the terminal (daily from 10.00 to 18.00) and online on http://bit.ly/vsrpirkutsk (in English). The ferries to Olkhon continue to the Eastern side of Baikal lake, making it a great option to sail through the whole lake for only €100 (which is cheap for such a long trip). If you’re camping you cannot bring cooking gas, so unless you have a burner that uses petrol you’ll have to either get rid of your cooker or travel by car instead.
