Kerið Crater

Very cool, the red rock contrasting with the green water was truly a sight to see. Took us less than 1hr total and due to the free parking and low cost entry (600isk) it was definitely worth the stop.

Close off the road and embark on a beautiful hike around the rim. You can also explore another trail that leads down to the bottom. Restrooms and ample parking are conveniently located nearby. This place is definitely worth checking out. It only took us about 40 minutes to complete the hike.

The fee is $6 per person . But if you do not have cash they may charge you $12 and that’s what happened with us with conversion charge etc . Lovely crater and beautiful green water. A small hike is required to walk down the crater to reach the water. Parking available.There is a food truck also available there . Restroom available

What an interesting stop!!!!! Such a beautiful color omg! When it’s bigger in person with striking blue green water and the red rocks around make it only stand out more. This was the last stop on my tour and while it wasn’t the crazier one its was definitely worth the stop. Getting to the highest point you can see everything around it too and it’s beautiful.

Very cool place and a short walk tot he top, and an option to walk down inside and around it. Beautiful colors, and beautiful surrounding scenery. The water inside of it made it unique. Must-stop if you are visiting the area.

Crater is 600ISK/ per person (takes credit cards) . Uphill walk on rocks/ gravel to the top of crater. Can walk down hill to crater lake. No swimming! Perfect stroll to see history. Family friendly. Not wheelchair accessible. Parking on site free. Worthy stop on Golden Circle Tour

Visited here May 12, right after they opened. $6 CAD for parking (fairly large lot) but the crater itself is free. Was very empty that early, but fills up very fast being on the golden circle. Couple of small trails to hike around a collapsed volcano, as well as stairs down to the water in the middle (7-14m deep). Info board outside (in parking lot) provides explanation to the type of volcano it was and the creation of Kerið.

Good site for stopping; attached picture should say it all. Free parking and cost is only 600isk. Also has free WC. You can see the crater almost right from the parking lot. However you can walk around the rim (maybe 1/3 of a mile). You can also walk down to the lake.
