About this app

Discover the World's Largest Treasure Hunt with Geocaching®

Embark on real-world treasure hunts with Geocaching, the ultimate outdoor adventure app! Join millions of players worldwide in a game of hide-and-seek using GPS coordinates. Whether you enjoy camping, hiking scenic trails, exploring nature while biking, or getting your heart rate up while running, geocaching adds a fun and rewarding dimension to your favorite outdoor activities. Explore the outdoors and discover hidden geocaches tucked away in parks, cities, forests, and scenic places all around the world!

To celebrate the 25th year of geocaching, we have introduced digital Treasures, a new way to enhance your geocaching experience! These themed Treasure collections add a fresh layer of excitement to every adventure. Show off your collected Treasures in the app and challenge yourself and your friends to collect them all!

Geocaching isn’t just about finding hidden treasures—it’s also about creating them! The global geocaching community is built by players who hide geocaches for others to find. Hiding a geocache connects you to a community of millions, all from a set of coordinates! Share your favorite scenic spots, historical points of interest, or your creatively designed container. Read messages from players who discover and log your cache, and challenge friends and family to find your hidden gem.


How Geocaching Works:

Find Geocaches on the Map: Use the app's map to locate hidden containers (geocaches) near your current location or plan adventures on your favorite hike or trail.
Navigate to the Cache: Follow the app’s GPS-guided directions to get within a short distance of the hidden treasure.
Start Searching: Use your observation skills to uncover cleverly disguised caches that could look like anything.
Sign the Logbook: Write your name in the logbook inside the geocache and log it in the app.
Trade SWAG (Optional): Some geocaches contain coins, trackable tags, and trinkets for trading.
Return the Geocache: Place the geocache back exactly where you found it for the next explorer to find.

unplayable for people who want to casually find caches. All the restrictions on the difficulty and whatnot for free-to-play people like myself make it hard to get invested, and due to the fact I'll most certainly not find more than 100 caches a year (probably closer to 50>) $30 per year is a steep price. Fun, but disappointing

Thank you for your feedback. Don't worry, the Geocaching® app is still free to download and play. The Premium membership subscription fee goes to bug fixes, new features requested by our community, and our support teams. Without our fee, we couldn't facilitate or support the app and website.

This app has been a highlight in my family for years now. It will take you on so many adventures and lead to lots of cool "treasures" you can exchange, as my youngest says. I cannot recommend this app enough for people of all ages. It always adds a little extra fun to any road trip as well as helps us plan a full fun day exploring when we can! Absolutely download this app and enjoy it!

I would like to have a way of marking comments as "spoiler alert". So those that don't want to see can not click to see. But those, like me, that need all the help we can get. Can click to see hints or photos of how to find the cache. I hate DNFs OLD: Awesome way to get some exercise & see places right around you that you didn't know were there. The free version is great all on its own. But got the membership to support geocaching.
