Getting Here
Your El Questro adventure begins with the journey itself. Tucked
away in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia the most
direct way to get to us is via the town of Kununurra.
From Kununurra, El Questro Station is 110 kms
west: 58 kms on the Great Northern Highway towards Wyndham,
36 kms on a sealed section of the Gibb River Road, with the
remaining 16 kms on a gravel road.
You will need a 4WD to get into El Questro Station.
Some other reports say El Questro Emma Gorge

Wyndham and then 25 kms on a sealed section of the Gibb River

vehicles during the dry.
Self-driving
The entrance to El Questro is accessed mainly via sealed roads,
The 'driveway' to the Station is a 16km unsealed corrugated
section of road with several rocky water crossings into the
Station; the water crossings being approximately 300-500mm in
depth depending on the time of year, we do recommend high clearance
4WD only accessing the Station and the Homestead.

83 kms west: 58 kms on the Great Northern Highway towards Wyndham
and then 25 kms on a sealed section of the Gibb River Road.

during the dry.
A small creek crossing is located 300m from the entrance to
the resort.
We recommend checking with our onsite team that your 2WD vehicle
