We have teamed up with local canoeing experts with 30 years of experience to deliver this tour, which takes place on a beautiful section of the River Tay near Aberfeldy. This is an ideal way to get close to wildlife with minimal disturbance and we usually see a variety of bird life as well as the local beaver lodge, beaver trails, evidence of feeding and hopefully the beavers themselves. Meeting in Aberfeldy around 6.30pm, the Beaver Safari by Canoe includes canoeing instruction, your canoe, buoyancy aid, guiding by your wildlife guide and a wee beaver memento! Dates for 2024 are May 10, June 8 & 22, July 6 & 20, Aug 3 & 17, Sep 7 & 14.
Private trips can also be arranged if our dates aren’t convenient – please contact us directly to arrange a private tour. The minimum age for children on this trip is 12.
Key species: European beaver, Dipper, Osprey, Sand martin, Heron, Sandpiper & many Pipistrelle bats!
PRICE: £70pp
GROUP SIZE: Min 4 people, max 10 people

We have continued to get 5 star reviews for this tour and it has been described as ‘Best Christmas present ever’ and ‘One of the best wildlife experiences in Scotland’ so we are confident you will have a great time. We saw beavers on all except one of our Beaver Canoe Safaris in 2022, and all except two of our trips in 2023.
