Beaver Safari by Canoe in Säfsen, Sweden
Experience a Beaver Safari in the Swedish wilderness
Join EcoAdventure Sweden for an unforgettable Beaver Safari by Canoe in Säfsen, Dalarna. This guided wildlife tour takes you quietly across the calm lakes and waterways of the deep Swedish forests where the Eurasian beaver lives.
As the sun begins to set, the forest becomes peaceful and the beavers start their nightly activities. From the silent canoe we paddle slowly through prime beaver habitat, giving us excellent opportunities to observe these fascinating animals swimming, diving or collecting branches for their lodges and dams.
Beavers are nature’s engineers and an important part of the Scandinavian ecosystem. During the tour your guide will share stories about the beaver’s life, how they shape wetlands and why they are one of Sweden’s most interesting wild animals.
This Beaver watching tour in Sweden is a calm and authentic nature experience suitable for families, couples and nature lovers visiting Säfsen.
The quiet canoe allows us to get surprisingly close to wildlife while enjoying the magical atmosphere of the Scandinavian wilderness.
