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!

Brilliant experience Perthsire wildlife were fantastic from first contact all the way through to the end of the experience.
It was a very informative evening with our guide Jean on the Winter Beaver Safari. We had been warned we may well not see beavers and were prepared for that. However we did get to see them and it was fantastic learning about them and their habitat as well as a wider view of nature from Jean who clearly had a real passion to share her knowledge and joy of nature. Thank you Perthshire Wildlife

Coolest Tour Ever! What a great experience!

Danièle was a super guide - it was so lovely to be led by someone who has known the land and it's flora and fauna for such a long time.

We got to see how the beavers affect the rivers and land, before settling down and spotting them coming in and out of the den.

For anyone on the fence wondering if it's worth it, IT IS! So much fun, and will definitely be back for the canoe tour next year 🙂

Amazing Scottish wildlife tour! Amazing beaver tour! Coming up from London, I was very keen to learn more about Scottish Wildlife. Daniele is an excellent and knowledgeable tour guide, starting off with some ace beaver facts and then taking us around the grounds to spot signs of beavers including chewed up logs, signs of beavers improving biodiversity and some very impressive dams! We ended the tour with watching the beavers swim around their lodge and even a big splash from a tail. Very exciting 🙂

I would highly recommend these tours for anyone wanting to get outdoors or learn more about Scotland's wonderful wildlife. I feel much more informed not only about beavers, and why they are so necessary to help the climate and nature crisis, but a lot more about Scottish Wildlife as a whole.

Fabulous beavers 🦫 ❤️ We had a fantastic evening sat on the riverside waiting for the beavers to emerge. We were a wee bit worried that they were going to hide from us but the whole family made an appearance and we got to watch them swimming about and relaxing on the bank. It’s a beautiful spot and Joan was a great guide. Highly recommended.

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!
