Belize was my first solo trip. Spent my time in San Ignacio and Caye Caulker. Only traveled in and out of Belize City so did not spend much time there. I felt safe during my time there. Caye Caulker felt very safe. The men did stare a lot which made me uncomfortable but never felt unsafe.
Posted: December 3, 2023I travelled Belize as part of a group trip with lots of other solo female travellers. We felt totally safe in Caye Caulker and San Ignacio (the only 2 places we went), the people were so friendly and helpful. We had heard that catcalling was bad in Belize but we didn’t experience any really. We were told Belize City wasn’t very safe so we didn’t explore there much. There’s lots of activities to do involving wildlife and food, not the cheapest place but I think all activities are reasonably priced for the experience you get!
Posted: November 28, 2023Experienced: November, 2023I visited a lot of Caribbean nations and Belize is probably my least favorite. It is a beautiful country with extreme poverty. It is one of the few countries where I really didn't feel too comfortable walking in the city (Belize City). I wouldn't recommend Belize for more than a vacation in Ambergris Cay.
Posted: September 26, 2023I went by myself last year to Tikal and Great Blue Hole. I stayed throughout Guatemala, San Pedro, and Caye Caulker for two weeks. I felt extremely safe everywhere I went but San Pedro. I didn’t feel in danger in San Pedro, just didn’t seem like an appropriate city to walk around at night as a solo female traveler. I still met some really nice people there when I went for dinner.
Posted: September 24, 2023I’ve been to Belize solo for a vacation and it was OK (not great just OK). I didn’t feel safe and it felt very touristy in the areas I was, but not welcoming.
Posted: September 11, 2023I visited San Pedro, Caye Caulker, and San Ignacio and loved each stop. When on the mainland I traveled by chicken bus and felt very safe. I stayed in hostels the whole time. Belize is more expensive than other countries in Central America but you can make it budget-friendly.
Posted: August 16, 2023Belize was my first solo trip. I was in the Placencia area and felt very safe. I stayed at an expat hotel and they made sure I returned to my room every day. Locals were so friendly and welcoming and almost no language barrier.
Posted: June 5, 2023I have been to Placencia and Caye Caulker in Belize and would highly recommend them. Placencia was very relaxed and calm, everything was easily walkable and the food was amazing. Caye Caulker had the best snorkeling I’ve ever done and was also super walkable but was a bit more touristy. I’d highly recommend them for a solo female traveler.
Posted: March 25, 2023My mom and I had the best time ever in Belize. We were there for a week and a half. We experienced some unwanted cat calling on Caye Caulker, but we just tried to tell ourselves it was a cultural thing and nothing threatening. I felt as safe there as most other places we’ve traveled.
Posted: November 27, 2022I loved my 10 days in Belize. My friend (female) and I had a wonderful time. We didn’t spend any time in Belize City; we were told not to. We visited Caye Caulker (took a taxi straight to the ferry port from the airport) , San Ignacio (day trip to Tikal in Guatemala) and Hopkins. We hired a driver to take us to each city.
