Our Story
The Heart Behind Destination Adventure
Meet Daina Clark
I started Destination Adventure in 2016 with a simple idea: to share my love for Magnetic Island, for fitness and for adventure in the great outdoors in a way that was safe, supported and inclusive. What started as a local passion project has grown into events that attract adventurers from all over Australia and NZ to our signature events The Great Island Trek and Bay to Base.
"Magnetic Island is my home, and I’m so grateful to share it with all of you."
Community & Connection
Destination Adventure's events wouldn’t be possible without the amazing support of our volunteers who give their time to help out on the day. To everyone who has donned a high-vis vest to support our trekkers: a huge thank you!
We are passionate about NQ community and are proud to support local charities through our events, ensuring that as we walk and ride these trails, we are also contributing to the future of Magnetic Island and the Townsville region.
About Me
When I’m not running Destination Adventure, I’m either still outdoors or helping people stay active on their feet.
You’ll find me:
On the Trails: Mountain biking the island’s epic tracks or hiking to hidden gems.
On the Water: Snorkelling over vibrant coral reefs or chasing waves on my surf ski.
In the Clinic: Working at my practice, Townsville Podiatry, helping locals and athletes stay mobile and pain-free.
I’m proud of what we’ve built here, and I can't wait to see you at the start line. Here’s to many more adventures together!
