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.

Amazing beaver safari We had the most amazing time on our beaver safari. Joan was a fabulous guide and made sure that we had the opportunity to see the beavers. We sat for about an hour watching about 6 of them coming and going from the lodge. It was the highlight of our week of wildlife watching in Scotland. We even think we saw a bonus otter.

Wonderful evening on the riverbanks! Fascinating and exciting evening with our local guide, Jean, who shared her wealth of information and passion with us, really building up to making the beaver sightings even more exciting by providing a deeper understanding of their habitat, behaviours and how they benefit the landscape. We had a lovely evening, wished we had bought our binoculars but were very grateful to be lent Jean's pair, and to experience the thermal camera that she kindly shared with us, too. And yes, we saw several beavers going about their work which was just beyond exciting - a first ever sighting for us.

Lesson on beaver conservation plus spotting them Marvelous experience about beavers ecology. It was no just to be able to see the beavers (some of them, interacting, from eru close), but all the information given about its ecology, conservations and issues with human presence. I strongly recommended it.
