Solo Female Travel in Panama

Solo travel experience

Went with my sister to Playa Venao, Panama. Felt extremely safe and welcomed by all of the locals! I stayed at Beachbreak Surf Camp which I loved! Very affordable and comfortable, and cute. I did the all inclusive package which included daily surfing, all meals, and airport transfer and came out to around a little over $1,000 for 5 nights. I also brought $500 for spending on alcoholic drinks, tips for meals, meals outside of my included hotel meals, and shopping. My sister brought the same amount and ended up not spending less than I did, I spent almost all of it but I did buy several souvenirs and we also like tipping well for the great service. Overall I loved it, it’s a laid back surf town, most tourists there were on the younger side of adulthood, and we by far not the only solo women travelers which was awesome!

Solo travel experience

I went alone in May and had a wonderful time. I was in Bocas and it was beautiful there. I stayed at Skully's. In Panama City, I stayed in Casco Viejo, a wonderful district. I walked there alone. There were a lot of police guards, so I felt safe.

I went to Panama this summer and I felt very safe there. I loved the city, the culture, and the people living there. I used Uber everywhere and it was cheap and safe.

Group travel experience

I was in Panama for a week in January. The food was amazing, and the locals were friendly. I met up with a group of friends in Panama and spent the entire week going on trips with them, so I didn't need Uber or a taxi, but I was told that it is a good way to get around and that they are safe even for a person traveling alone. They strongly advised me not to be outside alone after dark, regardless of the circumstances.

I loved Panama. The city is beautiful, and the people are amazing. I also visited Bocas Del Toro and I really liked it there too. I stayed at Selina's hostel in Panama and at Skully's Skullys hostel in Bocas del Toro. I definitely recommend seeing the canal.

I spent a week in Panama and didn't manage to see everything, so I plan to return. I saw the Gamboa rainforest, Taboga Island, and the San Blas Islands. I stayed in Panama City and it was easy to get around. I felt safe all the time, and the people were really friendly.

I loved Panama. Every night I would spend sleeping in the city. I did a one-day trip to San Blas and a one-day trip to Tobogá Island. I observed the operation of the locks on the canal. I walked around the city park in the rainforest and saw a capybara, I visited Casco and enjoyed great food and a rooftop bar, I loved Mercado De Mariscos and a walk in the water park.

Group travel experience

Panama is a great country to visit. The weather is nice and the beaches are beautiful. The Panama Canal is a must during your visit. Casco Viejo is also a great place to find something to eat, explore and party, though the drive to get there included passing through some sketchy places. Overall, I felt very safe and at peace during my visit. Would definitely recommend it to anybody who wants to get to know this beautiful country.

Solo travel experience

I went to Panama alone last autumn and it was fantastic. Very safe for a single woman who only knows a few words of Spanish. The biodiversity in this country is incredible.

Panama is a great place to visit. It is a bit expensive depending what you're looking for and language could be a barrier. The best part of the country is visiting the inside of the country where nature is the main character. Beautiful beaches, awesome trails, unbelievable fauna just waiting to be discovered.
