Beaver Tours and wildlife experiences in beautiful Perthshire

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, all led by expert local guides. Join us on a Beaver safari to discover the wonderful European beavers living wild on the River Tay catchment, be a Ranger for a (half) day or we can run a private 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 since we started in 2013 and have seen beavers on over 95% of these tours over the past 10 years. We have won TripAdvisors’ Travellers’ Choice Award for the past 6 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!

Brilliant beaver safari 🦫😊 We had a fantastic time on the beaver safari! It’s well worth going — our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, sharing a wealth of information about the beavers and telling us what to look out for to spot them. After a tense wait sitting on the riverbank, we had lots of sightings! It’s both a very relaxing and very exciting way to spend an evening. Definitely recommended!

Fantastic experience with so many sightings Such a fantastic experience on the riverbank beaver safari. The beavers took a little while to come out but then we got to watch them swimming about, playing and eating - who knew a beaver chomping would be so loud! Our guide was very knowledgeable and absolutely lovely. It was an easy stroll down to the riverbank - my MIL is 80 and had no problems with access. This was the highlight of our trip to Scotland and I would definitely recommend to anyone.

Magical relaxing beaver safari in Perthsire Really enjoyable evening. Our guide was great - very knowledgeable and chatty. The beavers took a while to come out, but waiting and quietly observing the river and the bank opposite as the light faded was wonderfully relaxing in itself. Then the beavers showed and we had a good hour or more of watching them appear and disappear, making their way up the river, popping beneath trees or vanishing from view.

Evening beaver safari What an amazing experience ! We met our guide and walked to the river bank - hearing tales of how beavers live and forage and looking for signs of their activity. It was all really interesting. Our guide was very knowledgeable - we saw our first beaver within minutes. Thanks to some brilliant local knowledge we were then able to watch a family of beavers happily going about their business on the riverbank, we got great views until it got too dark. Would definitely do this trip again if we are ever back in the area

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!
