The Heart Behind Destination Adventure
​Meet Daina Clark

"Magnetic Island is my home, and I’m so grateful to share it with all of you."


I started Destination Adventure in 2016 with a simple mission: to share my love for Magnetic Island, fitness, and adventure in a way that is safe, supported, and inclusive. What began as a local passion project has grown into something truly iconic.

Our signature events, The Great Island Trek and Bay to Base, now attract adventurers from all over Australia and NZ.  It has been an incredible journey watching people discover the stunning beauty of "Maggie" for the first time—or return year after year to challenge themselves on these trails. 

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.

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!
