This year was exceptional for unique geocaches worldwide, and we’ve compiled a list of the top 10 to share. From a clever disguise in Switzerland and a colorful gadget cache in Texas to a not-so-little library in Canada and a sneaky lock near an iconic Spanish landmark, the variety is sure to excite.
To create this list, we evaluated the most-liked geocaches on our blog, Facebook, and YouTube. Each week, we spotlight diverse geocaches from around the globe. Now, we want to hear your favorites!
In 2025, we celebrated a major milestone—25 years of geocaching! To mark this special anniversary, we introduced a new hiding theme per quarter to celebrate geocaches published in 2025. Every three months, we featured geocaches from that quarter’s theme on the Geocaching Blog and social media.
For our fourth and final hiding theme of the year, each nomination helped us revisit memorable moments in geocaching. We struck retro gold with your ‘blast’tastic nominations and discovered caches that could make a highlight reel titled “geocaching’s greatest hits.”
Cache in Trash Out® 2025 Season 2 has come to an end, so why not look back at this season’s accomplishments?
Over 2,100 CITO Events have occurred this season in more than 62 countries! Over 15,700 geocachers collaborated to work towards the common goal of cleaning up their communities and the world through CITO Events. Without every one of you, this would not have been possible, so thank you! 💚
Let’s look at some highlights of CITO 2025 Season 2!
Lake Brombach’s shore in Germany is a perfect location for classic beach activities like building sandcastles, stacking stone towers, and drawing smiley faces in the sand. And, of course, it’s also a great spot for geocaching.
Hidden not far from the sand beaches is a geocache masterpiece just waiting for the next geocacher to find.
As 2025 winds down, it’s time to look ahead to a brand-new year of geocaching adventures. Whether you’re planning a big caching outing in January or eyeing your next milestone, now’s the perfect time to start mapping out your goals—and your calendar.
