Strokkur Geyser

The Strkkur Geyser is certainly something to see if you've never seen see anything like this before. I did feel a little bit underwhelmed, but that's just me. It is amazing how the water heats up and bubbles away. The Geysir Centre across the road has toilets, food, drink and the standard souvenir shop. They have cold weather clothing for sale, but be prepared for the high price! Worth the trip and recommend a visit, but don't worry about FOMO if you don't.

Nice hot springs and geyser. It shoots every 5-8 minutes and is short. Worth the wait to get it on camera as I missed it the first time. Great view from the top of the mountain. Free to see. Does cost to park. Also has a nice give shop and snack bar.

Several geysers are scattered throughout this area, but the largest and most active one is Strokkur, which erupts every seven to ten minutes. After the first eruption, it often erupts again about 15 to 20 seconds later, so if you stay and wait, you can witness a second burst. Around the geyser, tourists stand ready with their cameras to capture the perfect moment, but it’s best not to wait on the downwind side. In strong winds, there’s a chance that the hot water from the eruption could be blown toward you.

Absolutely amazing place! The geysers erupt regularly and it’s truly fascinating to watch the power of nature so close. The steam, the sound, and the sudden burst of hot water create an unforgettable experience. The area is well organized with clear paths and good viewing spots, and it’s easy to take great photos. A must-see stop on any trip to Iceland!

Strokkur Geyser was absolutely beautiful! I visited in January, so it was quite cold, but there are nearby buildings where you can warm up for a bit between eruptions. Such a stunning natural wonder — I’m really glad I went!

Strokkur Geyser is an incredible natural wonder that erupts every few minutes, shooting hot water high into the air—it never fails to amaze! The anticipation builds with each bubbling surge. Easy to access, well-marked paths, and surrounded by stunning geothermal scenery. A true Iceland highlight!

Visited Strokkur Geyser during my Iceland trip and it was absolutely magical! Got lucky to see it erupt every 8–10 minutes—it’s such an incredible sight. The whole area feels so otherworldly, like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Definitely a must-visit spot in Iceland!

The Geyser was great. I do recommend to view the map at the bottom of the upper trail to see which is the most active geyser as there are a few of them. And if you have time I do recommend the trail. It is lovely and beautiful scenery. Only cost was parking if you drove yourself.
