“The Kimberley is one of those places that just gets a hold of you and it doesn’t let you go. There’s so much to do here. You just need to stop, relax and get on Kimberley time.”

Mick Clark, El Questro Head Ranger

Explore El Questro and beyond by 4WD, helicopter, boat or on foot, learning about The Kimberley’s abundant wildlife and endemic flora along the way.

El Questro offers a wide range of complimentary excursions that provide opportunities for guests to fully immerse in the natural attractions of The Kimberley wilderness. The majority are exclusive to Homestead guests, facilitating engagement between the small group and their guide.

El Questro’s enthusiastic rangers are adept at personalising your experience to your individual tastes. The staff will tailor a customised itinerary to ensure each guest samples the best of El Questro and The Kimberley whilst still leaving time to take in the serenity of the Homestead.

After exploring this dramatic land, guests may curl up under an ancient boab tree with a book, swim in the pool overlooking the Chamberlain Gorge or simply emulate the local wallaby population and lounge in the shade.

“Hike the El Questro Gorge trail, where you’ll pass through gorges so richly hued they look lacquered; take a dip in Zebedee Springs; and watch the sunset at Buddy’s Point to see shades of gold, purple and rose saturate the Cockburn Range as wedge-tailed eagles take to the skies. Needless to say, don’t forget your camera.”

Boating through the Chamberlain Gorge is a must. An El Questro ranger will take you on a private cruise of this 3km fresh waterhole in the Homestead’s private “dinghy”. Enjoy the diverse flora and fauna; resident rock wallabies, Johnston crocodiles and the always cheeky archer fish are familiar inhabitants of the gorge.

Exclusive use of Zebedee Springs is offered to Homestead guests every afternoon. Let an El Questro Ranger drive you in style to the most romantic of hideaways. Take a short walk through dense, tropical vegetation to a series of thermal pools and small waterfalls. Set amongst a backdrop of sheer cliffs and Livistonia palms, Zebedee Springs is a magical place to relax and rejuvenate after a busy day.

Join an El Questro Ranger on an early morning excursion to bird watching sites near the Homestead.
