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!

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.

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!

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.

This geyser was only bubbling when we visited, but even so, it's still an interesting sight to behold.

We visited many places in Iceland and each one was more beautiful than the other. This location was great. Easy to park and only a short walk in.

Visited Blesi in Iceland with my daughters the twin hot springs were stunning, such a unique and peaceful stop on our trip.

This is like a small Norris Geyser basin. With hot spots, the very active Strokkur and the dormant Geysir, namegiver of all geysers.

June 19, 2023 after the Geysers, we stopped at Gullfoss Waterfall in Iceland!

Absolutely gorgeous for the geyser! Beware of getting wet by hot water!

This spectacle is a must-see

While Geysir itself is dormant and has been for a number of years, both the Stokkar and Blesi geysers erupted multiple times while we were there (about 90-120 minutes). The hike to the top of the hills behind Blesi is absolutely worth it - just make sure you have good footwear and don't rush if the ground is wet or icy (exposed rocks). Tour bus crowds (and Stokkar crowds) can be a bit much on the trails, and the cafe/bistro can get wicked crowded. Be patient and take the hike up the hill - the views and the thinned-out crowds are worth it.

Very interesting geo-thermal activities! Nice paved path that connects all the geysers. The highest vista point offers a good view of the entire area. The cafe inside the visitor enter is a convenient place to eat along the Golden Circle, very pricey though. There are only three options on the menu. We had the traditional lamb soup, $24 for a cup. Flavor-wise, I would rate the soup a 3 out of 5.

Geysir in Iceland is absolutely incredible to witness in person. I visited as part of the Golden Circle, and it was such an amazing experience watching the earth come to life right in front of me. The powerful bursts of boiling water shooting into the air are mesmerizing, and you can feel the energy of the geothermal activity all around. The area smells a bit like sulfur, but it just adds to the raw, natural feel of the place. It’s also really close to Gullfoss Waterfall and Thingvellir National Park, so I’d definitely recommend seeing all three together they perfectly capture the beauty and power of Iceland’s landscape.

An absolute must-see in Iceland. Watching the geyser erupt every few minutes is fascinating — no matter how many times it happens, you still find yourself waiting for the next burst. The area is easy to reach, with paths that make it simple to walk around and get different viewpoints. Be ready for the steam, the smell of sulphur and a bit of spray if you stand too close — all part of the experience. It can get busy, but it’s worth it. We stayed much longer than planned just watching it erupt again and again.

An interesting spot to safely see Iceland’s geological forces in action. The places stinks, because it’s sulphur, and you will never escape the crowds, but it’s an easy, short, mostly flat walk accessible to everyone. There’s a series of thermal pools bubbling away, and a single geyser which goes off every 4-8 minutes, so, keep the camera running. There’s a cafe, souvenir shop and toilets near the car park which is on the opposite side of a busy highway from the geyser, causing a serious traffic jam and cars and buses dodging pedestrians.

Double, double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble. Well worth the visit along Iceland’s Golden Triangle. The lot across from this hot and gaseous geologic site charges about $10 for parking. Stop by for your daily dose of sulfurous spray.

This is a great natural site to visit and experience the unfinished aspect of Iceland. It was good to see that the site wasn’t overly manicured for the tourist experience (just don’t spend too much focus on the Geysir centre across the road that is a shrine to tourism). One can hike a little and get a close but safe distance from the hot springs. Wait a little and see an explosion of water and steam.

This spot offers a nice view of the other geysers without having to hike uphill. This particular one is medium-sized and doesn't attract as many people, making it a more peaceful experience.

Touring around on the Golden circle tour and stopped here as one of the attractions. The walk up wasn’t too bad, just a bit icy as expected and my other half did slip over nearer the top so be careful. After visiting the waterfalls at our next attraction, we headed back this way and I managed to capture a nice image through the front window of the coach.

One of the best geysers in the area.

Konungshver location can View over Geysir, blesi and strokkur. Lucky keep seeing Strokkur erupt every 3 to 5 min.

Really cool place to experience the geysers! We visited late in the evening after dinner. That was perfect as we almost had the place to ourselves. We drove past it the next day around lunch and it was packed!

Nice

Very nice 😍🤯

First parking lot requires paying. The scenery was amazing seeing the bubbling geysers. Definitely worth walking to the top if you're able to for the view.

Haukadalur is definitely worth a visit! It’s amazing to see the geysers up close—especially when they erupt. The whole area is full of geothermal activity, and it’s fascinating to walk around and watch the steam rising from the ground.

it’s magical. Exciting and easily accessible. Winter time and you have to be careful while walking. They have caution boards everywhere there. But a must visit if you visiting Iceland.

Looks like a Martian environment. It smells like sulfur of course. This park is crowded but worth a bit of hassle. It’s a short and beautiful drive from the city. There is no entrance fee or guide needed. You just wander through and catch some of the very active geysers as they shoot up from the Earth. I have not seen anything like it.

There’s a little steep slope uphill to walk. But it’s good for your exercise on your body for just 30 minutes trekking. Hot fountains are spotted in places and become one of the attraction spots for tourists. You can enjoy the fountain splashing up in the sky to 15 meters high!

You can hike around the area , in about 30 minutes you can cover everything, just stay on the designated path so you don’t get splashed with boiling water or slip in it . Occasionally you’ll see water bursting out of the ground very high .

Very busy, touristy place, but you can see why. What An amazing sight of nature to see the geysirs. One piece of advice is to not blink as you might miss it and have to wait another 6 minutes or so til the next blast! Or, if you are like me, you will watch this over and over again anyway. It’s brilliant! The amenities were great at this location too, clean bathrooms.

About one hour of driving distance from Reykjavik, Haukadalur Geothermal Area is another must see nature show in Iceland. The big guy Geysir is dormant now. However, Strokkur keeps sending up a high jet of boiling water every 20 minutes or so. You can walk around the hot springs and explore the area.

Cool area to explore - though it is very busy / touristy. Paid parking - though many just ignored the signs and were fine. Beware - some of the tour busses have some incredibly rude guests.

Experience to not miss, the area presents several geothermal features with a highly active geyser and a number of minor natural hot pools displaying different types of geothermal activities and amazing combinations of colours. The visit is for free and a large parking spot (to pay).

This is a good stop to see a different landscape element. Don’t let the parking lot (if it’s full) dissuade you from going. Lots of room to spread out. The Geyser is very short so if you miss it just wait around for about 8 minutes and it will go again. One time it went off 3 times in a row.

One of Iceland’s classic natural highlights, known for its active geysers, bubbling mud pools, and the iconic Strokkur eruption that goes off every few minutes. It can get busy, but the constant energy of the landscape makes it worth the stop, especially if it’s your first time exploring Iceland’s geothermal regions. The walkways are easy and well-maintained, so you can get around without much effort, though the steam and wind can shift quickly, so be prepared for sudden gusts and sulfur smells. Once you’re there, take your time to wander around the lesser-visited pools instead of just waiting for Strokkur. The colors and textures of the mineral deposits are beautiful and make for great photos. Just stay within the marked paths since some areas are extremely hot and fragile. It’s an accessible, classic Iceland experience that’s easy to fit into any Golden Circle itinerary.

Very touristy place. Payed parking everywhere. Main geysir is dormant, the second one not that interesting. But I guess good for older or hardly moving people, because the path's condition is good. Better to go to Hverir or Leirhnjukur to see geothermal activity, but no geysir there

Trail that goes through the infamous Strokkur Geyser and up the mountain the back that provides a panoramic overview of the surroundings. Trail going all the way is approximately 20-30 minutes long and is fairly steep at certain points. Across from the trail is a restaurant/gift shop area and free WC. Plentiful (paid) parking.

(Translated by Google) Nice place to visit ;) Impressive! (Original) Niezłe miejsce do odwiedzenia ;) Robi wrażenie!

OMG!!! The most incredible soup I have ever eaten... Don’t miss eating here when in Iceland 🇮🇸😋❤️💙. Both Supa locations I went to... the Geysir location as well as in Reykjavik downtown were both super clean with friendly staff & prices were very reasonable.. you get a HUGE bowl of soup with homemade bread.... they even let you sample the various soups they are serving... again I say.. EAT HERE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

All four soups taste great and have different characters. Tex Mex tastes like Mexican food. Kenya tastes like south east Asian with coconut milk. Tomato and basil is also great, but tastes unlike normal tomato soup.

Delicious soups at about $15 USD a bowl. It’s located inside a food court center near the Geyser. It’s a great place to stop for lunch while on the Golden Circle tour. Very friendly and speedy service. The food court is clean and has plenty of seats.

That cup of soup is one of the best in the area. They have a couple of variety with really good ingredients which bring out the best of flavors. Definitely worth a visit if you are around.

I did not expect Supa to be this good at all. For a roadside cafe in a tourist attraction, it still manages to keep a high standard. The Kenya soup came at a good price and was tasty, filling, warming, and exactly what I needed after a long day of sightseeing. If I ever come back to Iceland, it will be to eat this soup.

Just what you need when is cold and snowing at Geyser. It was expensive, about £10 each for soup & bread, but it was very tasty & filling. Good selection of vegetarian (and possibly vegan?) flavours.

The place isn't bad, but much like everything else here in Iceland it's pricey. Got the chicken sandwich which was tasty but not worth 1350kr. Coke was another 350kr

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.
