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!

This was our very first time seeing a geyser in action—and it was absolutely amazing. The anticipation alone is worth the visit: the water begins to bubble and swell for a few minutes, building up this quiet tension… and then the showstopper erupts with a burst of power that’s raw, dramatic, and unforgettable. We were completely mesmerized and ended up staying long enough to watch it erupt three or four times. Each time felt just as exciting as the first. Beyond the main geyser, the area is dotted with smaller steaming pools and bubbling hot spots that look almost otherworldly. A heads-up: the sulfur smell is strong—very “rotten eggs.” For a moment I genuinely thought I was the one smelling, but it’s just the geothermal activity. You get used to it quickly. It does get a bit crowded so if you want the perfect shot, have patience. There is no entrance fee. Getting there is easy. You can drive straight to the paid online parking right across from the geyser area, which is extremely convenient. There’s also a large store (expensive)beside the parking lot where you can grab warm clothing, souvenirs, or a quick snack before or after exploring. An unforgettable stop—don’t rush it, stay for multiple eruptions!

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!

Very cool! I think it erupts every 8-10 minutes. Has plenty of walking trails around the area and a couple good restaurants that are at the main building/welcome area. Very cool stop in Iceland!

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.

The undeniable star of the Haukadalur geothermal area, and witnessing it erupt feels almost unreal no matter how many times you’ve seen it on video. The geyser erupts every few minutes, often shooting a column of boiling water impressively high into the air, sometimes more than once in quick succession. The anticipation and the sudden burst make it a fun experience for both casual visitors and photographers. It’s an easy, flat walk from the main paths, and you can get fairly close as long as you respect the barriers. The ground around the geyser is extremely hot and fragile, so staying on marked trails is important for your safety and for preserving the area. Steam and sulfur smells are part of the experience, and depending on the wind, you might catch some spray, so keep your camera protected and maybe stand slightly off to the side if you want the best view without getting misted. Crowds gather quickly, especially right before an eruption, so arriving early in the morning or later in the evening makes it much more enjoyable. Once you’re there, give yourself time to watch several eruptions; each one is different and sometimes the second or third burst is the most dramatic. The combination of geothermal colors, the bubbling pool before eruption, and the wild Icelandic backdrop makes this one of the most memorable stops on the Golden Circle.

Strokkur is one of the geysers at Geyser on the main route of the golden circle. Parking here is at th visitors e center but it's such a hassle finding a spot with so many people always there. The walk to Strokkur is about 10 minutes total, and you pass by some other cool geothermal features. The geyser goes off every 3-5 minutes so you basically can't miss it. Really cool place to stop for a few to stretch and see something fun.

Really enjoyed playing this lovely nine hole golf course.

Their online reservations system via Golfscape will take your $ for times when the course is actually closed. 😕

Nice location but Overpriced for visitors and not best quality of greens/fairways

(Translated by Google) I passed by there and it is quite curious. Playing golf surrounded by fumaroles is amazing. The bad thing is that you drop the ball in a warm hole, let's see who bends down to catch it! Advisable (Original) Pasé por allí y es bastante curioso. Jugar al golf rodeado de fumarolas es asombroso. Lo malo es que se te caiga la pelotita en un agujero calentito, ¡a ver quién se agacha a cogerla!. Recomendable

(Translated by Google) It's really impressive... when we see a column of hot water shooting several meters from the ground, we realize how powerful the force of nature is... (Original) Naprawdę robi wrażenie...na widok strzelajacego na kilkanaście metrów z wewnątrz ziemi słupa gorącej wody zdajemy sobie sprawę jak potężna jest siła natury...

(Translated by Google) Fun and challenging course and good ball handling. (Original) Skemmtilegur og krefjandi völlur og takið vel af boltum.
