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.

Brilliant beaver safari 🦫😊 We had a fantastic time on the beaver safari! It’s well worth going — our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, sharing a wealth of information about the beavers and telling us what to look out for to spot them. After a tense wait sitting on the riverbank, we had lots of sightings! It’s both a very relaxing and very exciting way to spend an evening. Definitely recommended!

Fantastic experience with so many sightings Such a fantastic experience on the riverbank beaver safari. The beavers took a little while to come out but then we got to watch them swimming about, playing and eating - who knew a beaver chomping would be so loud! Our guide was very knowledgeable and absolutely lovely. It was an easy stroll down to the riverbank - my MIL is 80 and had no problems with access. This was the highlight of our trip to Scotland and I would definitely recommend to anyone.

Magical relaxing beaver safari in Perthsire Really enjoyable evening. Our guide was great - very knowledgeable and chatty. The beavers took a while to come out, but waiting and quietly observing the river and the bank opposite as the light faded was wonderfully relaxing in itself. Then the beavers showed and we had a good hour or more of watching them appear and disappear, making their way up the river, popping beneath trees or vanishing from view.

Evening beaver safari What an amazing experience ! We met our guide and walked to the river bank - hearing tales of how beavers live and forage and looking for signs of their activity. It was all really interesting. Our guide was very knowledgeable - we saw our first beaver within minutes. Thanks to some brilliant local knowledge we were then able to watch a family of beavers happily going about their business on the riverbank, we got great views until it got too dark. Would definitely do this trip again if we are ever back in the area
