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!

A truly memorable experience We went on a half day beaver safari with Perthshire Wildlife, and absolutely loved it. Our expert guide, Jean, was informative and friendly, and it was a very relaxed experience. The format was excellent - the first section, near Alyth, involved seeing the evidence of the beavers in the landscape and hearing about their ecological importance (and why we should be encouraging them rather than getting rid of them - so sad to hear that so many landowners and farmers can’t see past the myths and misinformation) the second involved watching beavers in the river Erricht, busily collecting and eating greenery from near the banks - absolutely fascinating, and we felt so privileged to get so close to them, and that we saw so many, both in and out of the water. Within seconds of arriving at the river we saw beavers - far quicker than we expected.
We can’t recommend this highly enough - a truly memorable experience (and great value for money)!

Beavers are cool Went on the half day beaver tour. From the get go, met with Jean who was amazing! She was a passionate, kind, patient tour guide with lovely stories and lots of knowledge about the wildlife in the area. She answered all our questions perfectly! Saw lots of beavers, which was awesome! An amazing day for anyone interested in wildlife. Beavers are way cooler than I realised.

Half Day Beaver Tour Myself and my partner went on the half day beaver tour in the evening. Jean was our guide and she was fantastic, very passionate and knowledgeable about the beavers and more! It was very interesting to learn about and view their habitat and we had a very lovely time watching the beavers in the river. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning about and observing our local animals.

Fabulous Had a fab tour with Daniēle who shared her extensive knowledge about beavers and how beneficial these eco engineers are to our waterways.
We did some natural foraging as the beavers would do as she pointed out other birds and wildlife in the area.
We saw a number of beavers swimming up and down the river, some coming within meters of our position.
Thank you Daniēle and we will return

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!
