Beaver Tours & Guided Wildlife Walks across Perthshire

IMPORTANT COVID INFORMATION

All staff are fully vaccinated and we are continuing to implement Covid measures to keep you safe.

Perthshire Wildlife

Welcome to Perthshire Wildlife, a small Scottish company which helps connect locals and holiday makers to the beautiful Perthshire countryside and wonderful wildlife that lives here. We run a variety of guided walks and tours across Big Tree Country to enjoy our amazing Perthshire wildlife and countryside. From 2013 we have specialised in Beaver Safaris where we observe European beavers living wild on the River Tay catchment.

We hope to start our new Angus Coastal Tours soon. This involves a day trip to visit some of Scotland’s best beaches, watch noisy seabirds, find beautiful seaside wildflowers and spotting wildlife in the sea – hopefully seals & dolphins!

Central Perthshire is one of the best places to see European 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 also run tailor made tours and guided walks – 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!

We went on the tour on a Saturday evening and were well looked after by tour guide Joan, who was very knowledgeable about the beavers and knew the best spots to see them swimming, eating and going about their business. Highly recommended! read less

At the river, we saw them busy gathering food, a small green island moving along was a beaver with a large bunch of Japanese knotweed. They didn’t seem to be disturbed by our small, quiet group. Highly recommended. read less

We had a fantastic time and learned so much about these marvellous creatures, their habitats and their positive effects on the environment from our guide, Jean. She was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable and gave us different choices about where and how to see the beavers. We had quite a lot of sightings both in the water and out of it. A fabulous experience. read less

Some great views of two beavers and, in the quiet spells, we saw goosanders, common sandpiper, dippers, sand martins and a kingfisher. There was an otter as well but I missed that. Danielle gave us a lot of information about the beavers themselves but also about the other local wildlife and plants. The entire experience from booking the trip and getting the directions to the offer of a dram of whisky at the end was excellent. Can be thoroughly recommended. read less

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!
