Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Had a lovely time at Bamff Beaver Safari last
Saturday. Totally relaxing, chilling and informative visit. Guide was so enthusiastic, friendly and knowledgeable.
I was accompanied by a small hen party, who were lovely company, what a great alternative celebration.
Highly recommend. Even a wee toast to welcome the Beavers back to Scotland and a bit of Shortbread.

My wife and I drove to Alyth to meet our tour guide. She was prompt and cheerful, depsite some rainy weather, and we proceeded to follow her in our car to a Beaver sanctuary where we were given expert information on the lifecycle, environment and ecological impact of the Beaver in Scotland and around the world. We then drove off to a local river, which was fairly easy to get to (via a short rek through some fields). The guide was also a bat expert, and showed us her equipment to detect the bats' sonar and to differentiate the species via the feedback on the detector. We sat beside the river upstream from a small weir, or waterfall, next to a submerged Beaver dam. We almost immediately saw an Otter, and then proceeded to see numerous Beavers swimming past us as, mere meteres away, which we got a great look at and made some lovely photographs and memories. It is a quiet spot and so there is no difficulty finding Beavers here. Our guide, Jean, was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and it was a totaly privelege to be on this wonderful tour. I hope to make this tour again one day when we return to Scotland in the future.

Great trip, just the four of us and the tour guide. She was able to give us lots of information about the local area, specifically on beaver reintroduction, and showed us signs of beaver activity in the area. We then walked along the river, stopping at the recommended spots, until the beavers appeared! We saw about half a dozen, adults and babies, and got some great photos. Lovely animals. Finished with a dram of whisky! Beautiful evening well spent. My main recommendation would be to go in summer for those lovely long evenings – we lost the light fairly early unfortunately, but still had a great time.

Went on a dawn beaver safari with Perthshire wildlife. The guide, Jean, was really lovely and immediately put us at ease. She gave us some really interesting background information on the beavers before we started the walk and then we saw beavers very quickly once we reached the river. It was a beautiful morning, there were loads of birds and bats around and the atmosphere was magical anyway, it would have been a great trip even without the beavers! However, we were lucky enough to sit and watch quite a bit of beaver activity and we felt so privileged.

A fantastic evening learning about beavers and re-wilding. Jean, our guide, was excellent. A walk through beautiful countryside and at the end of the evening we were able to watch beavers swimming and eating.

A pleasant evening out to view beavers. We saw several individuals swimming in the river and had the added bonus of seeing an otter and bats.
Our guide, Jean, was very informative about the beavers, their history and habits. Enjoyed our visit.

We were walked down to the River initially looking for signs onto he banks and grass. It was a bit light to begin with but Joan pointed out where the den was and it didn't take long for us to see our first beaver. We saw the majority of the family as they patrolled their territory more frequently as the light dropped. There were two adults, two yearlings and three young. I was able to follow one of the yearlings up and down which was fantastic. Recommend Binoculars as it became hard to see as the light level dropped. Also fortunate to see an otter three times. Wonderful to see such a healthy river network. Joan was great and knowledgeable and this was an amazing experience
