Beaver Tours and wildlife experiences in beautiful Perthshire

IMPORTANT BIRTHDAY INFORMATION

We have just turned 10! Join us to help us celebrate!

Perthshire Wildlife

Welcome to Perthshire Wildlife, a small Scottish company which helps connect locals and holiday makers to our beautiful Scottish countryside and the wonderful wildlife that lives here. We run a variety of wildlife tours across Perthshire and Angus, specialising in Beaver tours where we observe the wonderful European beavers living wild on the River Tay catchment.

Central Perthshire is one of the best places in Scotland and the UK to see beavers in the wild and we run safaris by canoe, in conjunction with local canoeing experts, as well as on foot to get close to these amazing creatures. We have been running our beaver safaris for over ten years and have seen beavers on over 95% of these tours over the past 5 years.

We can also run private tours and guided walks for you – just contact us with the species or place you would like to see and we will do the rest!

Our tours have been featured on Great Coastal Railway Journeys – see us on the River Tay with Michael Portillo here, as well as on Landward and Countryfile – this clip shows our beaver-spotting safari on the River Tay with Charlotte!

A special evening with the beavers Our guide was so knowledgeable & enthusiastic & it was catching! Loved looking for beaver chips & sticks. Watching the beavers swimming up & down the river, climbing the bank & eating the vegetation was so special.

Fantastic experience! We had a fantastic experience with Jenna on the riverbank safari. We were lucky to spot several beavers and a few otters - but even if we hadn’t it would’ve been well worth the tour. Jenna was very knowledgeable and passionate and fielded our (very many) questions with so much enthusiasm. She made us feel confident about spotting them ourselves in the future. A highly, highly recommended experience that makes for a memorable afternoon

Awesome experience! Had a very nice stroll along the river and enjoyed spotting a big beaver family doing their beaver evening routine of swimming and munching on some roots!

Simply a must if you're an animal lover | Amazing experience We went on the Beaver Safari with Danièle in early October. Danièle was friendly knowledgeable and gave us an amazing experience to see their lodges, dams and eventually the badgers themselves! The buzz of being able to see the badgers swim out and tend to their dams in the twilight was the highlight of our trip. Danièle clearly has a passion for their preservation and well being and her guidance was crucial in making sure we got to see them. Would highly recommend to any animal lovers.

Beautiful Perthshire

Perthshire is right in the centre of Scotland and easily reached from Scotland’s cities. It is on the border of the Highlands and fertile Lowlands and so contains the wildlife found in both these areas, ensuring there is lots to see! Also known as Big Tree Country, there is a huge range of beautiful woodlands to visit. On a day out you could visit Europe’s oldest tree, see beautiful waterfalls, lochs, wildflower meadows and woodlands. We can help you find grouse, deer, ospreys, leaping salmon and beavers!
