Voyages El Questro Wilderness Park
Property Information:
El Questro Wilderness Park is without doubt, one of the world's unique holiday destinations.
A million acres in size, El Questro is located on the eastern perimeter of the Kimberley region, and extends for approximately 80 kilometres into the heart of the region.
The Kimberley region in far North Western Australia is one of the world's last unspoilt frontiers - an ancient land extending from Broome in the South West to Kununurra and Wyndham near the Northern Territory border.
The landscape is diverse to say the least - from rugged ranges and broad tidal flats, to rainforest pockets, gorges and waterfalls. The Kimberley is a very special place, where you'll feel a sense of discovery at every turn.
Animal, fish and bird life congregate in the rivers and waterholes, of which El Questro boasts four major river systems - from fresh water springs to the lazy salt water estuaries in the northern part of the property.
El Questro Wilderness Park is open from 1 April - 31st October each year.
Accommodation Information:
El Questro offers independent accommodation facilities, each different in style and budget - from the internationally acclaimed El Questro Homestead, Emma Gorge Resort, to Station Township with its Family Bungalows
