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, 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 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!

Riverside walk with beavers putting on a show We had a great tour with our guide Joan who was very well informed and enthusiastic. We were out on an April evening with lots of house martins (?) wheeling over the river as it neared dusk. Beavers were initially elusive but got more active and easier to spot as the light faded. Lots of opportunities for photos

Tips- stay very still! The beavers get spooked easily by movement. Wear warm clothes and be prepared for rain, consider bringing a picnic blanket or something else to sit on. Wear sturdy shoes/boots ideally. But trainers might be ok too depending on the weather. Dark clothes probably best. All of these things will be in the email when you book.

Suitable for kids and older ages as long as they are ok on slightly rough though generally level ground, fairly safe near river banks (sometimes steep) and able to sit still and quiet.

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.

Great trip despite rain Fantastic evening. Absolutely pissed it down and all we saw initially were kingfishers ( we were pleased with that) . Then when we had just about given up hope, several appeared coming very close to the bank we were sitting on. Jenna was very informative. A most successful trip, stopped noticing the rain.

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!
