BEAVER SAFARI IN SWEDEN - A REAL NATURE EXPERIENCE

Beaver safari - A spectacular show. A high splash end the silence and a water cascade rise towards the sky. A few seconds later the sprinkles falls back over the surface. A beaver dived and did a strong spectacular flick with his long and flat tail

Join Sweden's most popular beaver safari 

At sunset while the sun gets down behind the hilly forest we paddle out on beaver safari. Through a very beaver rich wilderness area we move as silent as possible in Canadian canoes (the red Indians traditional canoe with space for two adults which in common language is simply called canoe). It is in the evening in the shelter of the threes long shadows the beaver is very active. With care we slide in silence towards the beaver huts. Slowly, slowly in order to get as close as possible without harming the beavers

The adventure starts with a three course dinner with many ingredients from the forest. To the dinner we listen to the experienced, and knowledgeable (native Swedish) beaver guide Mikael Nilsson who let us know about the beaver and many other wild animals in the forest. When the paddling starts everyone has to be absolutely silent. Then we only communicate with sign language (a condition to see the shy and hard working nibblers)

The chance to se beaver is very big. During the season 2009 we watched beavers on all beaver safaris 

The tour include: 5 hours guided beaver safari, a three course dinner, night in double rooms (family rooms), sheets, towels, breakfast, canoes, paddles, life jackets, water proof sacks and sitting pads
