Angus Coastal Tours

Join us on a day trip to explore the best that the Angus coast can offer – beautiful beaches, sea bird colonies, coastal wildflowers, the chance of seeing dolphins and traditional seaside fare for lunch (vegetarian & vegan options are available).

Meeting at Monifieth train station at 10am, we visit a number of the best locations along the coast to spot wildlife and enjoy some of the most beautiful beaches in Scotland. Where we go depends on where the dolphins have recently been spotted – we are members of the Angus Cetacean Sightings Group so get regular updates – but it will be three or four of the following top wildlife sites – Monifieth Bay, Easthaven Beach, Seaton Cliffs and Auchmithie Beach, along with a lunch stop in a popular local cafe. Each stop involves a guided wildlife walk to spot birds, sea mammals, wildflowers and appreciate the beautiful scenery.

Our small groups of up to six people means that our tours are friendly, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions of your guide. Binoculars and a telescope are provided.We will stop off at a café for lunch, or you are welcome to bring a packed lunch. Remember water, sun hat & sun protection. Sturdy shoes for walking and waterproofs are also essential! We return to Monifieth train station between 4pm and 5pm.

A special place all land owners should aspire to. Had a lovely time at Bamff Beaver Safari last
Saturday. Totally relaxing, chilling and informative visit. Guide was so enthusiastic, friendly and knowledgeable.
I was accompanied by a small hen party, who were lovely company, what a great alternative celebration.
Highly recommend. Even a wee toast to welcome the Beavers back to Scotland and a bit of Shortbread.

10/10 Beaver (& Otter) Tour My wife and I drove to Alyth to meet our tour guide. She was prompt and cheerful, depsite some rainy weather, and we proceeded to follow her in our car to a Beaver sanctuary where we were given expert information on the lifecycle, environment and ecological impact of the Beaver in Scotland and around the world. We then drove off to a local river, which was fairly easy to get to (via a short rek through some fields). The guide was also a bat expert, and showed us her equipment to detect the bats' sonar and to differentiate the species via the feedback on the detector. We sat beside the river upstream from a small weir, or waterfall, next to a submerged Beaver dam. We almost immediately saw an Otter, and then proceeded to see numerous Beavers swimming past us as, mere meteres away, which we got a great look at and made some lovely photographs and memories. It is a quiet spot and so there is no difficulty finding Beavers here. Our guide, Jean, was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and it was a totaly privelege to be on this wonderful tour. I hope to make this tour again one day when we return to Scotland in the future.

Great safari, loved seeing the beavers Great trip, just the four of us and the tour guide. She was able to give us lots of information about the local area, specifically on beaver reintroduction, and showed us signs of beaver activity in the area. We then walked along the river, stopping at the recommended spots, until the beavers appeared! We saw about half a dozen, adults and babies, and got some great photos. Lovely animals. Finished with a dram of whisky! Beautiful evening well spent. My main recommendation would be to go in summer for those lovely long evenings – we lost the light fairly early unfortunately, but still had a great time.
