El Questro Wilderness Park is situated within El Questro Station, a cattle property that expanded its operations to include tourism, located in Western Australia's Kimberley region. The station continues to function as a cattle enterprise, maintaining a herd of around 6,000 animals. As of 2012, the pastoral leaseholder was GPT Funds Management Pty Ltd. El Questro is managed under Crown Lease CL207-1984 and Land Act LA3114/1180.

Positioned to the west of Kununurra, the park is accessible via the Gibb River Road. It spans an area exceeding and stretches approximately into the Kimberley landscape.

Originally established in 1903, the property was acquired by Will and Celia Burrell in 1991, who transformed it into a destination for wilderness tourism. In 2005, ownership transferred to General Property Trust, which later sold it to Delaware North in March 2010.

El Questro comprises three distinct resorts: Emma Gorge, offering safari-style cabins; The Station, which provides bungalows and camping facilities; and The Homestead, featuring upscale rooms and suites. All accommodations are operated by the G'Day Group.
