How to find GTA Online Treasure Chests locations on Cayo Perico (2024)
There are hidden GTA Online Treasure Chests on Cayo Perico, which can be uncovered for some bonus loot while you're scoping out the luxury island for your next heist. A total of 19 small crates have been stashed around the area, although only two of them will appear each day, and the only way to reach them is to visit during the heist planning stage. Each one you locate in GTA Online will provide a few thousand GTA$ and some RP, so although they're handy to grab if you're already casing the joint it's perhaps not worthwhile making a special trip to the tropical paradise for them. To help you make that decision, here's everything you need to know about the GTA Online Treasure Chests locations, including a Cayo Perico map.
GTA Online Treasure Chests locations
There are a total of 19 possible GTA Online Treasure Chests locations around Cayo Perico, and we've marked them all on the map above. Ten of them can be found on land, while the other nine are situated underwater just off the coasts. For additional pointers on where you should be looking to find your loot, we have some further descriptions to direct you.
On Land:
At the end of the runway next to some large gray liquid containers
On the northwest shore near some rocks and a bush
Between two rowboats on the shore south of the runway complex
Just to the south of the shack by some trees
Near the south end of the long building at the docks
On the beach in the cove
By the outpost inside the small circular road
On the west side of the small loop road near the bushes
On the outside of the compound perimeter wall
On the south side of the dock entrance near a red crane
Underwater:
Off the northwest coast near the runway
Off the coast south of the runway control tower
Between the coast south of the runway complex and the large island
Off the coast northeast of the runway complex
Off the northeast coast near the shack
Between the east coast and the small island
Within the large southeast cove
Off the west coast near the large loop in the road
Under the wooden dock platform
Note that although these are all possible GTA Online Treasure Chests locations, only two of them will actually spawn each day for collection, with one being on land and the other underwater.
How to find GTA Online Treasure Chests
Firstly, you must gain access to Cayo Perico to reach all of the GTA Online Treasure Chests locations, so if you haven't done so already you'll need to purchase the Kosatka submarine from Warstock Cache and Carry then complete the initial actions to get the heist up and running. With that in place, start the Gather Intel mission then explore the island to reach the loot.
As we mentioned before, there are only two GTA Online Treasure Chests available to collect each day (in real time), which appear at randomised locations from the possibilities listed above with one on the island and the other in the sea. There's a lot of ground to cover to check all of the potential places, and although the chests give off a sound to help you find them this is only useful when you're already close. To save you a lot of time, check out the GTA Online bonuses announcement channel of the GTA Series Videos Discord, which reveals the GTA Online Treasure Chests locations with a daily announcement.

The first rule when planning a treasure hunt is to start with the treasure itself then work backwards. This way you always know which clue to place next. If it's for a birthday or Christmas, you may want to leave a small present at each location, then the final treasure at the end of the hunt.
To start the Treasure Hunt mission, players simply need to enter a GTA Online lobby and wait for an email from vanderlinde@eyefind.com. Of course, if you've played at all since this mission was released, you will have already received this email in all likelihood.
The maximum payout for the GTA Online Cayo Perico Heist is $4,188,152. However, this is the maximum you can earn when in a group of four players. But this also needs to be split, with the majority of the cut going to the heist leader.
Buried Treasure spawns in beach biomes randomly and are easiest to find using a buried treasure map which can be obtained from a shipwreck or ocean ruins. A useful thing to know is that buried treasure always spawns at chunk coordinates 9 ~ 9.
Next to the dirt cul-de-sac in the south of the island. North of the compound fence – west side near the remains of a thief. Close to a red crane at the Main Dock. Underwater northwest of the runway.
There are 19 possible locations – ten on land and nine underwater. Each real-life day, two will spawn at random locations, but one will always be on land and the other in water. The chests also emit a sound, which helps with locating them. They will each give the player $25,000 and 1,000 RP upon collection.
Description. If a player has purchased the optional sonar upgrade for their Kosatka submarine, then whenever they are inside their own sonar-equipped vehicle such as the Kosatka, Avisa or Toreador, they will be shown a prompt informing them that turning on the sonar will reveal hidden caches.
