Wild beavers a quarter from town??? Join a beaver safari in Säveån! We make our way through paddlandes in packrafts to get the best possible chance to see the swimming rodents. The beaver is most active early morning and late evening. It is a very timid species, but in the late evening and early morning you can see them swimming in the surface of the water. Our beaver safaris therefore start in the evening to be in the right place when it starts to get dark. We can meet beavers anywhere along our journey, but there are some areas where the chance of seeing them is greater. In these places, we lay down completely still to give them a chance to arrive. With binoculars, you can also watch from longer distances. Nature rules no one and beavers are free creatures. Although we often see beavers in Säveån, it is not guaranteed that you will see the animals on every trip. On the other hand, we will certainly see traces of their rampage and learn more about how they live and both influence and are influenced by us humans. REQUIREMENTS You must be swimming proficient All participants must wear a life jacket while paddling

DISCOVER THE AMAZON OF GOTHENBURG

Just a quarter of an hour from Gothenburg Central Station, Säveån winds its way, surrounded by lush greenery, beating fish, beaver nests and hunting kingfishers. It is amazing that so close to the big city we have such an unknown but easily accessible gem that is best experienced from the water. Our guided day tour in packraft takes a total of about 5-6 hours of which 3-4 on the water. We meet on site in Jonsered, participants get their gear out and we inflate the boats and go over what to think about. During the tour we will also learn how to maneuver the boats on the water and learn more about how to handle them on land. We finish the tour a stone's throw from the train, bus and tram stop in Gamlestan. The tour usually ends around 2:30pm - 3pm. ABOUT PACKRAFTING Modern pack rafting originated in Alaska but is growing rapidly throughout the world and there are many specializations. Some people paddle forays, others bring their bike on board but the vast majority use it on hikes to get around where you normally can't move. So far there are few places that offer guided tours in packraft, but in Gothenburg it is now possible to join a guided tour to discover both the nature close to the city and pack rafting.
