A unique experience between fjord, sea and forest, departing from Auberge du Cap au Leste
Do you dream ofwatching whales in their natural habitat, without sacrificing comfort and authenticity? Less than 90 minutes from Quebec’s best birdwatching sites, Auberge du Cap au Leste is the perfect base camp for this unforgettable experience.
A memorable adventure just around the corner

Whale watching is one of Quebec’s great natural spectacles. In Tadoussac and Les Escoumins, where the Saguenay Fjord joins the St. Lawrence River, marine giants can be admired in a grandiose setting.
Located in Sainte-Rose-du-Nord, our inn is perched in the heart of the boreal forest, with a spectacular view of the fjord. In just 1h to 1h15 of driving, you reach the two best places in the world to observe :

Whether you set off on a zodiac excursion, an observation boat or simply from the shore, every outing connects you to the breath of life.
