Beaver Tours and wildlife experiences in beautiful Perthshire

IMPORTANT BIRTHDAY INFORMATION

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

Perthshire Wildlife – home of the Beaver Safari!

Welcome to Perthshire Wildlife, a small and friendly company which offers exclusive wildlife tours in beautiful Scottish locations, with expert local guides. Join us on a Beaver safari to discover the wonderful European beavers living wild on the River Tay catchment, or a guided Wildlife tour around Perthshire to spot the Scottish Big Five!

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!

Informative. friendly, and we saw beavers! A lovely calm experience with a great tour guide and eventually the beavers floated by. What a wonderful way to spend an autumn evening.

A soggy but enjoyable beaver watch Despite a soggy evening we enjoyed our Beaver Safari. Despite the weather we had good sightings of several beavers along with kingfishers and heron. The guide was informative and interesting sharing both her delight in the creatures along with a realistic awareness of the issues around the re-colonisation of riverbanks by the beavers. A worthwhile and enjoyable time.

Perthshire 1/2 Day Beaver Safari Had a marvellous and very informative 1/2 day beaver safari with Perthshire Wildlife, firstly learning how beavers (nature's great engineers) reshape their habitat. The second part of the safari was seeing Scottish beavers in the wild. This time I remembered to take my binoculars thank goodness and was rewarded with some wonderful views of the beavers in their natural habitat. Thank you Perthshire Wildlife for a wonderful half day I'll never forget.

Truly magical wildlife experience! We really enjoyed the Beaver Safari with Jenna, a true highlight to our trip to Scotland. Starting off learning about the Beavers, their habitats, misconceptions and dam building really set the scene before venturing off to find a Beaver family. Jenna was great at ensuring we saw the Beavers without interrupting their activities and we luckily saw deer and kingfishers too! We only wish it didn't get dark so we could stay watching for longer. We'd recommend to any wildlife lover.

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!
