Your Custom Geocaching Safari!

Alaska Vacation Store can create a custom geocaching safari just for you. We are avid geocachers ourselves, and Alaska is a great place to head out and explore with your GPS.

There are over 1000 geocaches in Alaska, in every part of the state. Many are located in relatively populated areas, in municipal parks or other easily accessible locations. Others are located along the highway system in Alaska, and guests could literally find dozens of geocaches every day as they travel through the state. A few are located in very challenging areas, and require considerable physical skill and specialized equipment, such as climbing gear or a boat to find.

Alaskan geocachers do a very good job of placing caches in particularly interesting locations, so that their fellow players can discover and enjoy some of Alaska's more spectacular sights and experiences while searching for geocaches. A day of geocaching in Alaska is a day of spectacular scenery and adventure.

One of the advantages of our packages is that we specialize in creating custom packages for people who are looking to experience Alaska, but want to avoid the crowds and commercial attractions. Our guests are thrilled that they get to experience some of the most spectacular destinations in Alaska, but without all of the disadvantages of a structured tour.

What You See and Do – Alaska's scenery is spectacular almost everywhere you go. Because our packages are created from scratch for you, we will help you pick the destinations and itinerary that best suits your needs, balancing the usual Alaskan activities with plenty of free time to head out into the wilds looking for caches. A visitor might plan a trip to Alaska with the goal of geocaching every day, or perhaps plan a vacation in Alaska and travel around, and visit geocaches that he or she comes across along the way. For example, there are literally dozens of geocaches on the road between Anchorage, Denali National Park and Fairbanks. Whatever your preference, the geocaching guest can expect spectacular scenery and some very creative geocaches.

Fortunately, Alaska is very well connected to the Internet, so if a guest had a laptop computer, one could easily connect to the geocaching.com website to download coordinates of caches. Many of the lodging options that we include in our packages have wireless internet connections for their guests, or there is an Internet cafe' nearby.

Geocaching in Alaska offers a few additional challenges, because of the environmental conditions. All of the usual gear that you would need for a walk in the woods is appropriate, such as insect repellent, rain gear, appropriate footwear, etc. Also, since Alaska has a large number of large wild animals that wander the woods, a knowledge of safe outdoor travel and what to do when confronted with a large animal is also very useful.
