About Wildside
Sunraysia's adventure crew since 1995.
Founded in 1995 by Allan Hassell and Ian Smith, and led by Thomas Floyd since 2021, Wildside Outdoors is the premier provider of school camps and outdoor adventure programs in the Sunraysia region. We pioneered canoe and kayak tourism on the Murray, and still run every trip ourselves with our own kit and our own guides.
Over 20 schools from Sunraysia and surrounding areas trust us with their camps. No franchised tours. No bus-in operators. Just locals who know every bend of the river and every trail through Hattah.

"We had the best day kayaking together! The team made it so easy by dropping everything off and picking it up right where we needed it. Highly recommend!"

Why Wildside
30 years of dirt under our boots.
We've been running adventures across Sunraysia since 1995 — pioneering canoe and kayak tourism on the Murray. Schools, corporates, families, locals, travellers: if it's on the water or the trail, we've probably guided it.

Lake Cullulleraine, Hattah-Kulkyne and the Murray. We know every bend and trail.

Founded 1995 by Allan Hassell and Ian Smith. Led by Thomas Floyd since 2021. Still local, still hands-on.
