Murujuga
Murujuga is another name for the Burrup Peninsula, which is a short distance from Karratha. The area is known for having the largest and most important set of ancient Aboriginal rock carvings, called petroglyphs. There are more than one million petroglyphs throughout Murujuga that date back about 10,000 years.

The trail stretches for 3.5 kilometres (2.1 miles) past significant Aboriginal artefacts and native vegetation. Along the trail, visitors with an airfare to Karratha can view Aboriginal rock art and ceremonial sites, as well as some gorgeous views over the landscape.
Hearson’s Cove
Hearson’s Cove is a beautiful example of a Western Australian beach to see when you have cheap flights to Karratha. It has rust-coloured sand and a rocky coastline along the water. What makes Hearson’s Beach extra special is a natural event that occurs between April and October of each year. During low tide, full moons reflect off the wet sand in such a way that it gives the illusion of a staircase between Hearson’s Cove and the moon.
Cossack
Visitors with flights to Karratha can take a step back in time by visiting the neighbouring town of Cossack. The town showcases bluestone architecture that was built by the earliest settlers to the region. Cossack became an important port for trading and a hub for gold prospectors. As industry shifted from Cossack to nearby towns, people began to move out; by 1950, Cossack was abandoned. Today, visitors with tickets to Karratha can explore the ghost town to learn about the area’s history and understand what life was like for early settlers to the region. To get a full insight into Cossack, you can make the 52-kilometre (32-mile) drive along the Cossack Heritage Trail between your return flights to Karratha.
Karijini National Park
If you have a couple of free days after arriving on flights to Karratha, head inland to the incredible Karijini National Park.

Some must-see spots to visit within Karijini National Park are Mount Bruce, Hamersley Gorge, Hancock Gorge, and Fortescue Falls.
