Solo Female Travel in Panama

Bocas Del Toro, Solo travel

I had a wonderful time in Bocas Del Toro. It’s a very small and tight knit community and everyone is so friendly! I stayed at Hotel Bocas Del Toro and had feee breakfast and coffee every morning over the ocean. I also stayed at Up the Hill on Bastimentos which was absolutely magical listening to the jungle come alive early every morning. Monkeys ran across my roof for the bananas every night. And my host made me absolutely delicious food with all home grown ingredients. Water taxis are plentiful and cheap to take you anywhere. And if you dive please check out Bocas Dive Center! They took me to gorgeous reefs and my private dive master Simon was so much fun! Bocas has something for everyone. Check it out!

Panama City, Solo travel

A fascinating city that blends old and new. Safety travelling solo at night can be a concern at night, so take precautions. The good was amazing. The nightlife is great too - lots of great rooftop bars.

Bocas Del Toro, Solo travel

Bocas Del Toro was an amazing trip and I felt very safe. I kept taking water taxis to the island to drink at night and never felt unsafe.

Panama, Solo travel

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!

Casco Viejo, Family travel

Really Nice neighbourhood. We felt safe. Lots of Nice restaurants, cafès etc. Recommend Sisu Coffee Studio and Santa Rita restaurant. We used uber to go to Panama Canal, Metropolitan National Park and Panama Vieja.

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.

Panama, Group travel

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.

Panama City

Panama city is just another city in Latin America with a lot of culture, where normally you don’t feel that scared like in other latin american countries, actually is one of the safest cities maybe in latin america. Full of culture and great people, nightlife is safe as we have police everywhere checking if anything happens.

Panama

Panamá is in general a safe place so please feel free in Panamá, I don't recommended Santa Ana, el chorrillo but there are not turístico place. All beach are safe specially bocas del toro. The Provinces of are safer than the capital

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.
