"Located aboutan hour northeast from Reykjavík and part of the famed Golden Circle tour (along with Gullfoss), the Geysir hot springsarea consists of arounda dozen hot water blowholes, including the eponymous Geysir. The Strokkur blowhole is the most popular, principally because it regularly(every few minutes, usually) spouts its boiling water up to 100 feet into the air. It’s still worth looking around at the other pools, even if they haven’t erupted for years or even decades, since they usually offer interesting colors and bubbling geothermal activity. The site also hasa hotel, souvenir shop, café, and a related exhibition."

🌫️📸 Iconic spot but very touristy The geyser is impressive and definitely something to see at least once. The eruptions can reach a surprising height. But the area felt very crowded and touristy. I think geysers are more magical in quieter, less busy places. Still, it’s a famous site for a reason.

Very Very crowded. Parking 7 euros It is a place that is very good especially because every so often one of the geysers explodes and is impressive. As for the beauty of the landscape, it is not the best place to see geysers.

Crowded. But still a lot of fun! Parking was easy. Great gift shop with options to eat. The paths were super well maintained and accessible. The walk up the hill was great with a beautiful view, surrounded with lupin.

Remarkable, entertaining, well kept, and easy to navigate. There are geysers of all sizes and shapes, some barely bubbling while others are shooting tens of meters high. The olace is sufficiently compact than you can easily walk through the import parts. The visitor center is one of the most well equiped of all of Iceland touristic spots. Not to be missed

We were originally going to skip the Geysir, as the parking lot was so crowded. But I am glad we decided to go and walk around. The main attraction is to watch the Geysir erupt every 6-8 minutes, but don’t just settle for that like most tourists, as the 20-minute hike to the top was definitely worthwhile. Amazing panoramic views of the countryside, and you can still see the eruptions from the top. On a clear day you can see the water mist from Gullfoss. Several restaurants and stores in the area, so it’s a good place to stop for food and drinks or a bio break. Parking is not free, but it’s easy to pay via the QR code.

I thought this was just going to be a geyser that a ton of people waited to see erupting, but it’s a fantastic beautiful area full of steam and springs and the star or the show the Strokkur geyser gifting us an eruption every 4-10 minutes. It was ADORABLE to see people clapping and cheering at the geyser, so happy and proud of her!!!! Adorable. And the walk is beautiful and it’s great to get thermal steam in your face and lungs. I loved this

I saw Geysir as part of a tour. I found the whole experience really fascinating, and there are beautiful views of the mountains from the exhibit. Geysir was going off every few minutes when I visited in May. There is a lot to see there.

Amazing place. A must see part of Iceland. The main geyser errupts approximately every 5 minutes. There is a plenty of tracks to walk around and see. You'll need at least an hour to have enough time to enjoy this place. There's no tickets required to see the geysers, but the parking is paid. You have a restaurant, a cafeteria, a few shops and a hotel on the spot.
