Beauty and adventure await amidst the 700,000 acres of El Questro Wilderness Park. Once a working cattle station, you can now access this amazing landscape with vast striking scenery and picturesque rainforest pockets around every corner.
Visited by many tours of Western Australia and the Kimberley, it is a highlight for so many reasons. Here are just some once-in-a-lifetime experiences you can have at El Questro.
A three-kilometre body of fresh water sits between towering cliffs topped with varied vegetation. The Chamberlain Gorge is only accessible by boat and presents a striking contrast of still water, layered multicoloured earth, assorted shrubbery and trees, and diverse wildlife.
Rising 600m from the vast savannah below, the Cockburn Range dominates the landscape. It offers panoramic views of the encircling plains, and its sandstone face catches fire at sunset throwing red hues into the countryside.
Nestled beneath the fiery red escarpments of the Cockburn Range is Emma Gorge. A tranquil oasis of turquoise water that sits below a 65-metre waterfall where you can relax by the waters edge or float in the refreshing pool.
Immerse yourself in the thermal waters of Zebedee Springs after a pleasant walk through the stunning bushland that envelops them. Livistonia palms cling to the waters edge and shade the placid pools where you can feel the worries of the world fall away.
Accommodation options are scattered throughout El Questro. There are campsites, station rooms, a luxurious homestead, and stunning tented cabins where most tours enjoy a night or two. Check your tour itinerary for specific information on your stay.
You can explore the wilderness by foot with a nature hike, take in the rugged landscape on horseback, uncover remote places only accessible by helicopter, fish for barramundi in the waterways, and uncover the secrets of this vast land from the local rangers.
No matter which experiences you choose during your stay at El Questro, they will be nothing short of extraordinary.
