Does anyone know if it's possible to bring our bicycles on the ferry between La Paz and Topolobampo (Los Mochis)? And how much it costs? If it costs a
fortune to bring it along we just won't head down that way... The web site for the ferry doesn't seem to work at all.
all that u need here

NOTE: The information below may be outdated. Please make sure you obtain the latest information from the ferry operators themselves.
Addresses and Phone Numbers
There is now a central reservations number in Mexico:
91-800-696-96
It is likely that only Spanish is spoken. Also, I believe the toll-free
nature of the "800" number applies only to calls from within Mexico.
Calls made from the US should be preceded by:

Cargo Information
Most of the boats are loaded "in the front and out the back" (or the reverse). This makes it easy to load the larger vehicles. A few of the boats have
a loading platform only at the back of the boat - this requires that vehicles be backed off the boat.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Docks
Santa Rosalia: The ferry dock is located in the city.
La Paz: The ferry docks are located at Pichilingue, about 10 miles north of the city.
Guaymas: The ferry docks are located just south of the city center.
Topolobampo: The ferry dock is located just west of the small town of Topolobampo. The major city nearby is Los Mochis.
