Beaver Safari

A nature experience 

 When the sun slowly sets behind the treetops and the light is broken through the dense deciduous forest, it is time for you to paddle out on a beaver safari, because that is when the beaver is most active and dares to get out of its hut!

Before departure, you go through paddle technology and safety together with your guide. With you, you have your personal guide with very good local knowledge and a trained lifeguard at SLS.

Silently and carefully, you advance in the twilight towards the beaver huts. Since 2017, most diligent beavers in the area have been seen. The nature reserve in the nearby area and the untouched nature will be a refuge for many of the wild animals both on land, in water and in the air. Slowly, slowly you make your way through the varied vegetation to get as close as possible without disturbing. You also have the opportunity to see the magnificent sea eagle!

During the paddling there is silence and you only communicate with signs. During your safari, you stop at an island or headland to be served something good to drink along with a simple snack while your guide tells you about the beaver and the area's history.

The paddling is not physically strenuous, you paddle at a calm and quiet pace either solo in a stable single kayak or with a paddle partner in a double kayak.

Each kayak and participant is equipped with a life jacket, cockpit canopy, paddle, water bottle, bilge pump, float and waterproof bag.

Time may vary depending on the sun setting during the season.
