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
