Half-Day Beaver Safari

This trip visits a wonderful location where beavers have built a series of amazing dams and we can easily see how they have changed the surroundings to produce wildlife-rich wetlands. We spend the first half of the evening on a walk to see all these changes in the environment and the second half sitting by the beaver pools, watching the beavers swimming, feeding, grooming and even dam repairing if we are lucky!

This is a great trip to learn all about the history of beavers in Scotland, their life story, how they re-appeared in Perthshire and why they are so important to the ecology of our rivers and wetlands. Although we can never guarantee wildlife sightings, we have a 95-100% success rate of seeing the beavers on this trip. This is a great trip for families as everyone can collect their own beaver chips and beaver-chewed sticks!

PRICE: from £180 per couple (£90 pp)
GROUP SIZE: 2 – 8 people
TIME: 3.5-4 hours
AVAILABLE: Early April – end of September on Thursday afternoons/ evenings

Meeting time: Meeting near Alyth, 2 hrs before dusk – the exact time and location will be sent after booking.

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.

Perthshire 1/2 Day Beaver Safari Had a marvellous and very informative 1/2 day beaver safari with Perthshire Wildlife, firstly learning how beavers (nature's great engineers) reshape their habitat. The second part of the safari was seeing Scottish beavers in the wild. This time I remembered to take my binoculars thank goodness and was rewarded with some wonderful views of the beavers in their natural habitat. Thank you Perthshire Wildlife for a wonderful half day I'll never forget.
