Explore the benefits of Premium membership
Spend less time planning and more time playing! Geocaching Premium unlocks even more geocaching opportunities so you can discover a whole new world just outside your door. Experience the best of geocaching with Premium.
Your Premium membership support
The support of the Premium community fuels the game. In 2000, Geocaching.com started as a hobby site with 75 geocaches. Today, it’s home to over 3 million geocaches placed worldwide. Here at Geocaching HQ, we are thankful to be able to do this work because of the ongoing support of the global geocaching community and Premium memberships.
New features with ongoing maintenance and improvements, support and education for the millions of geocachers around the world, and partnerships with robust geocaching platforms through the API Authorized Developer program are just a few of the efforts made possible by Premium membership.

Create Adventures
Explore, discover, and learn through interactive scavenger hunts with Geocaching Adventure Lab®. Qualified Premium members can create a new kind of interactive experience. These virtual experiences do not require a physical container, so the sky's the limit for Adventures.
Favorite points
Favorite points are a way of saying “Thank You” to the geocacher who hid and maintains the geocache. It’s also a way to let other geocachers know that geocache is worth finding. Premium members earn one Favorite point for every ten geocaches they find.
Instant notifications
Receive an email as soon as a new geocache is published! Instant Notifications allow you to easily monitor the logs of geocaches within a defined area. Most often this is used to receive notifications when new geocaches are published, though you can use it to monitor any type of log.
API Partners
There are over 100 partner applications available through our API Partner program and, as a Premium member, you get extra features through some of these partners. These applications work with Geocaching HQ to develop integrated products and services for the benefit of the geocaching community.
