Mainland to Baja ferry need to knows... Topolobampo is not like Mazatlan to La Paz experience. Handicap or physically challenged keep driving south to Mazatlan. Tobopalobompa doesn't have much to offer, one decent hotel, and a beautiful malacon with a half dozen decent restaurants to wait until the late sailing. You will have hours, due to not driving at night. Especially in this part of the country, it can get scary. SHips Think step-down cruise ship to basic car ferry to cargo ship. There are 2 ships leaving Tobo within an hour of each other around midnight. Overnight to La Paz with a free crew meals, usually birria or similar, but excellent. Afternoon trip from La Paz arriving just after sunset. One you are in the interior other not so much. One has a small bar, other dry, so you don't hurt yourself. Be prepared for a 12hr car sit, possibly like us next to a large open onion truck. Very long night and be prepared to climb on both ships. Mazatlan has an elevator, thus handicap accessible. The good of cargo, you get to snuggle with your four leggers. Bring foreign or old collectors coins for a better experience. The man who feeds you will liven up to your gift. He collects and shares with passagers. I always carry Ike dollars for special tips to remember me by. This was a blessing for us both. The better boat with cabins, well worth the upgrade. Bring your own movies or entertainment for DVD player. Four leggers are kept warm in belly by trucks. We tipped watchman and he gave updates and a visit, but be prepared for long trek on open stairs. Hope this helps everyone seeking passage to Baja. It is a wonderful experience with the locals that move goods around the west. The stories they tell are amazing just open yourself and you'll really understand what make Mexico beautiful.
