"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."

One of the most beautiful places on the Golden Circle route is here. You can visit bubbling hot springs with temperatures between 80 and 100 degrees and eat the famous Icelandic soup at a nearby restaurant and enjoy your trip to Iceland.

Cool part of the Golden Circle with a geyser that erupts about every 5-10 minutes. Similar to Old Faithful in YSNP. The eruptions can be powerful or super weak so be prepared to stay for more than one! Come at sunset for a beautiful orange and yellow eruption. Beautiful area with a ton of steam. The main geyser is a quick 5 minute walk from the paid parking lot. Super cold in the winter.

An amazing geothermal area that reminded me a lot of of the old faithful area of Yellowstone. While the original Geysir is no longer active, there is another one named Strokker that does erupt on a regular basis. We saw several eruptions while we were there, and it seems every other one is big and the in between ones are rather small. There is a nice walking trail that takes you through boiling pools and steam vents as well. Plenty of parking, and a large restaurant and gift shop here as well.

What a Fantastic and wonderous scene. My wife and I have seen simillar view in New Zealand a few years ago. It have to visit place in Iceland.

Good place to see geysers here. There is a big one 20m every 4-7 minutes and a small 1m almost continuous one. If you want to see many more and much bigger ones go to Yellowstone.

🌫️📸 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.

We visited the Strokkur Geyser in the Haukadalur Geothermal Area in February 2025. While the geyser is famous for its regular and impressive eruptions, we unfortunately experienced a less active period during our visit. The eruptions we observed were small and did not reach the height we had anticipated based on descriptions. We understand that natural phenomena can be unpredictable, and perhaps we just visited on a day when the geyser was less active. Despite not seeing a major eruption, we still recommend visiting the Haukadalur Geothermal Area to appreciate the raw power of the earth. Just be prepared that the geyser's performance may vary.

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.
