The best restaurants in Quintay

Quintay is famous for its gastronomy. We share our best local recommendations.

A boutique café

La Karnada (AustralDivers Café)

AustralDivers’ café, located right by the sea, is ideal for those seeking a moment of relaxation before or after diving. It offers breakfasts, sandwiches, and a selection of homemade pastries that perfectly complement good coffee. It’s the closest spot to enjoy something delicious without leaving the epicenter of Quintay’s nautical activity.

Educational visit to the former whaling station

An incredible place that represents a piece of history we must not forget.

A place to remember

Quintay Whaling Station Museum

Visiting Quintay’s former whaling station is an intense and moving experience. This place commemorates one of the harshest periods in our maritime history: whale hunting and processing. Its facilities, now silent, show the brutality of an activity that deeply marked the community and the ocean.
It’s not a light tourism site: it can be sad or even shocking for many visitors. We recommend going with a reflective mindset and prepared to face a message that seeks to raise awareness about humanity’s relationship with the sea and the importance of protecting it.
Despite the harshness of its history, it’s an incredible place that invites thought, appreciation of marine life, and understanding why conservation is so urgent today.

Located just 90 minutes from Santiago and less than an hour from Valparaíso. With over twenty years of experience, we are a PADI 5 Star Resort.

Our center is built on a simple but powerful concept: making diving an easy, safe, and accessible experience. We have our own training pool, rest areas, lockers, state-of-the-art equipment, and a team of certified instructors led by a PADI Course Director. But what truly distinguishes us is the comprehensive experience we offer: a coastal lodge designed especially for divers.
Our hostel, Austral Lodge, is located within the same dive center premises, allowing you to rest, prepare equipment, and participate in trips without transfers or complications.
Each room —or “cabins,” as we like to call them— is designed for rest after a day of diving: comfortable beds, private bathrooms, and a nautical atmosphere that combines functionality and warmth.
