The town of Karratha is the main service centre for the Pilbara and as such is a thriving town with a substantial shopping centre of a standard you would expect in a capital city.

The Karratha Airport is one of regional WA's busiest with several flights per day from Perth. Both Qantas and Virgin Blue operate 737 or A320 aircraft into the town with competitively priced airfares.

We will meet you at Karratha airport for the trip to Point Samson which is around 50 k/m along the Great Northern Highway. The option is to continue to Whim Creek and access West Moore Island from Balla Balla creek. Depending on your time of arrival and the weather the best option will be chosen to get you to the Lodge with the minimum of fuss.
