Story: Full Throttle in Karratha
Episode: 27
Presenter: Christina Morrissy
Air Date: 3 August 2025

Chrissy dives into Karratha’s booming boating culture, where three out of four households own a boat and joins former FIFO worker–turned–tour operator Leith for a high-speed, island-hopping adventure through shipwrecks, secret mangroves, beach oysters and dolphin-filled waters that show exactly why life here is best lived offshore.

• Lethal Adventures runs tours through the Dampier Archipelago, a group of 42 islands near Karratha, offering access to secluded beaches, mangrove creeks, and remote marine environments.
• Guests can choose between high-speed jet ski tours (no skipper’s ticket required) or guided boat tours aboard a 9-metre Gemini RIB, with options for full-day, half-day, or sunset experiences.
• Wildlife sightings are a major highlight — depending on the season, you might spot dolphins, manta rays, turtles, sea eagles, and even humpback whales.
• Tours are led by local guides with deep ties to the Pilbara, combining marine expertise with regional stories and cultural insights.
• Tours depart from Dampier Foreshore or Hampton Harbour, both a short drive from Karratha and close to Red Dog landmarks.
• The business consistently earns five-star reviews and often books out, with guests praising the friendly service, top-quality equipment, and unforgettable coastal adventures.
