Free Loaner GPSr in Kimberly, British Columbia, Canada

Geo what? You either know or don't have a clue what we are talking about. Geo-caching is the modern version of treasure hunting using a hand-held GPS and is so much fun. Don't have a GPS? Do not worry, we will lend you one....with all the treasures around Kimberley programmed in!

There is a huge community of treasure hunters around the world and our beautiful surroundings is no different, lending itself to some great hiding places for these little caches. Enthusiasts hide their caches away and then upload the coordinates and clues onto the world wide web at geocaching.com for us all to go out and find them! It is as easy as that.

So all you need is a GPS (which we will lend you if required), a sense of adventure and as many willing friends and family of all ages you can must to help find the cache. When you find one you can take something out, leave a replacement item, sign the logbook and continue on to find some more because by now you will be hooked! The kids will love it, and of course they will be able to show you how to use the GPS properly!!

Make a good walk for the whole family a little more fun by finding a few of these on the way. A great way to get the kids away from their electronics on the sofa to making their electronics get them out in the great outdoors! Kimberley Nature Park is in easy walking distance from all of our condos and has a number of geo-caches hidden away waiting to be found.

We have a selection of Pet-Friendly units should you want to bring the whole family. Your pet will help hunt and can stay as a Free Guest but you must read and agree to our "Pet Friendly Guest Licence Agreement".
