badba2 Posted January 22 #1 Share Posted January 22 Is Roatan safe to walk around alone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 2000 Posted January 23 #2 Share Posted January 23 I am a solo female traveler who has spent a heap of time on this island, wandering from end to end, side to side. There is no way to know if you will be safe. I say this because I know how to behave as a guest in someone else's country. Those people who do not... who knows? Bad things happen the world over, and anyone who tells you without a doubt you will be safe is not doing you any favors. We are talking about an island off the coast of a third-world country; some fair, desperate people are around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops, you are absolutely right...I forgot to take into account Carnival's Mahogany Bay. Wish the system would let me delete or at least edit my other post. Edited January 23 by Guest 2000 I was a bit to snarky in the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarlK Posted January 27 #6 Share Posted January 27 We never had an issue. Family of 4 with two young girls, we hit a local grocery store and even visited a school and a restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merinski Posted January 28 #7 Share Posted January 28 We were on tours when we were there. We felt safe, but I don't think I would wander around in some of the areas alone. Take a reputable tour. We did one with our ship and one with Victor Bodden. We really like Roatan, but there is a lot of poverty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABQrobin Posted February 7 #8 Share Posted February 7 Roatan is safe as long as your aren't being stupid... like getting drunk and wandering around in the jungle. It is just as safe as Miami, or any other touristy place. Just act like you would elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
