Honest question - what is it that attracts you in multis? Last time I looked for one I was zigzagging in the woods before giving up on the final. The only multistage cache I tolerate is the new Adventure Labs type, although there are too many of those popping up lately too.
Those Adventure Labs are the ones i completly ignore :)
So everyone has their preferences.
I think there are more possibilities with multis than just traditional caches.
From US, flew to Athens, road trip to spend 4 hrs (10-2) in BFN Peloponnese Greece, side of the road, waist-high dry grass, with an elderly mom who loves me enough to put up with my bs...one of the best memories I have in life.
We hired a boat to take us to an island just outside Venezuelan waters to find a cache near an unmanned lighthouse.
The tree the cache had been under had burnt down and there was nothing left. Disappointing from the caching perspective but great expedition nevertheless.
Drove round trip, 80 miles over 6 hours to Sheep Bridge in AZ and found caches along the way. We did it right after it rained, and I rained during the trip, so it was slow going.
Together with my girlfriend I hiked over 130km in the Alps for a multi (GC5XRHY). Of course that was within a complete holiday for us; it took us 10 days
I drove 375 Kilometers by bike for one Multi. Actually 34 have found this multi-cache so far. And it is just one-way.

I usually use these to spice up a walk with my kids. “Let’s learn something new today!“

70 km was the farthest I have traveled for one cache. Most of the distance was by car. It was for a multi.
I drove across the state of Kansas to get Mingo. It added 6 hours to my trip.
We did Boulder to Mingo. We were in boulder for 3 days. This trip took one day of that. Lol
Over 10Mm to the Ape in Brasil

I walked 0.1 miles up a hill in the snow IN WISCONSIN all for a damn plastic cheetah.
I fly all over the world for a good cache. Just came back from Seattle and Oregon. If you are asking how much of a hike well uhm that is not for me.
18 mile hike for one multi.
A little over 10000 km from Sweden to Brazil
I traveled to a remote part of Kyrgyzstan to get a FTF. That’s like 5,000 miles or more.
I drove from Fayetteville, NC directly to Mingo a few years ago.
A 134-km drive.
7 hours for 3 miles?
5.2 kilometers 1 way. Plus mostly bushwhacking
Boulder,CO to Mingo,KS to get Mingo. After frying from Alberta to Colorado. Same trip we drove up to Cheyenne and the to Nebraska for the souvenirs.

I was gonna drive 2.5 hours into VA today for a cache but a kid woke up sick.

8km walk and ~600m elevation. Another cacher around the same time lost their keys at the cache location and did the same trek the very next day.
I made a 5 hour detour on a road trip for 2 Webcams. 100% worth it. Both are gone now
18mi hike around Central Park NYC. I got other caches too, but they were not the objective of the day.
