Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Seriously-the day we were there, we saw the Strokkur Geysir erupt twice when we were there. Both times only about 6 feet up max. Is that what all the fuss is about? Overall the “Golden Circle” other than Gullfoss was a letdown compared to other places in Iceland.

A. Opening Hours : 11 sm to 12 pm
B. Entry Ticket: Free entry
C. Location : 110 km from Reykjavik, about 2
hours drive. 10 minutes
walk from the bus stop to the
main geyser.
D. Travel mode : Part of Golden Circle tour.
Strokkur is a fountain type geyser located in a geothermal area besides Hvita River. It erupts every 10 to 15 minutes, and its usual height is 50 to 60 feet, and it has risen around 150 feet as well. The atea has various mud pools and smaller geysers as well. You can see steam coming out at various points across the area. An earthquake in 1789 opened the cracks that made these geysers.
I visited this place on 21st Mar'23 as part of our Golden Circle tour. It was cloudy weather, very cold and icy wind blowing at 45 km. The ground being icy, we had to be very careful to avoid slipping on the ice. There was number of points on the way from where steam was oozing out continuously. We waited near the geyser, and it erupted after a 20-minute wait. But wind being very strong, it could reach good height.
There are good restaurants in the area and souvenir shops as well
A must visit spot in Iceland.

One of it’s kind experience. I would say a good stop by location while on your way to Gulfoss waterfall. It surely catches you with surprise.

Strokkur is definitely worth to visit. From the same geothermal area you'll find also the original Geysir which erupts nowadays like once a day (like some 20 cm) and some others too.
But Strokkur is the main sight and it erupts like every 3–5 minutes with impressive 20 meters hight. Active geysers like Strokkur are rare around the world so go. My husband found this geothermal area the most interesting one in our Golden Circle tour.

This was the first geyser I've seen and it was pretty impressive, so glad we stopped by on our route around golden circle heading down to Vik.
This is on the same site as original Geysir and this is the one you'll be looking to get some good selfies and photos as it erupts every 8 mins or so.
Very much worth stopping by and there is a shop over the road plus free parking nearby.

Well worth a visit if you are nearby in Iceland
Dramatic and frequent eruptions from Strokkur Geysir
Really fun to see
Lots of other geysers and hot springs on the site but we only saw eruptions from Strokkur
Free parking and easy to access

It was freezing cold on the day that we went and so we only wandered around for a little bit and didn't actually see the geysir erupt. But it was still fascinating to look around and there were some decent facilities inside, too.

Lovely geezer with seismic eruptions. The visitor centre is also nice but you will get in trouble if you eat your own food there.

This was our second stop
Off on the golden circle trip with Reykjavik excursions, it’s amazing !
The geysir erupts at least every 10 minutes - as the guide advised, but it happened about every 5 minutes while we were there. The smell of sulphur is very strong !
You can take a walk up the hill and the views are jaw dropping, snowy mountains in the background.
There is also a hotel and two restaurants - is possible to stay the night if you are driving your own car.

Strokkur is on F333. Can I go to the carpark with a 2 wheel drive?

Gainesville, FL966 contributions
This is not a problem. You will probably be parking along [35] in one of the many available areas. The geothermal park with Strokkur is a very short walk. It is not necessary to drive on F333. If you do, F333 is paved up to the marked entry area to the geothermal park with Strokkur.
Exploring the area in Google Maps in Street View is helpful.

Привет, соотечественники! Подскажите, пожалуйста, на каком автобусе (маршрут или оператор) можно добраться до этого чудного места из Рейкьявика? Сколько стоит билет на автобус? Заранее спасибо!
Hi everybody! Which public buses go to this place from Reykjavík? What is one-way ticket price?

Никак. Дешевле будет взять тур по золотому кольцу (помимо гейзеров еще Тингведлир и Гюдльфосс). Или машину напрокат

No sé si hay visitas guiadas en español, pero no sé necesita entrada para ver el geyser. Es posible que por la noche y por precaución la zona la cierren porque sí había una pequeña valla, pero el horario creo recordar que era muy amplio.

Elodie, l'entrée du Geysir n'est pas payante. Gullfoss est très facil de visiter, pas loin de Geysir (en voiture, bien sûr). Pas besoin de passer par une agence.

Hi, I'm taking a driving tour of the Golden Circle soon. I am a bit confused by the directions Strukker & Geysir seem to have differnt route to get there but they seem to be very close together in photographs. Could you please tell me if they are on the same site & how far apart they are.
Many Thanks
Shane aka Someonelost.

Hi, Strokkur is the geysir. It's also close to Gullfoss Falls (10-15 min drive). We stayed at the geysir hotel which is right across the road.
Hope that helps!

No entrance fees to see Strokkur. There is a car park across the road which offers free parking. There are several cafes / restaurants / gift shops nearby where you can purchase food and gifts as you wish.

Hi! Landing in Reykjavik 9.10 in the morning, continuing to NY at 5 pm. How can we see the Geysir? Public transportation? Not time for a full excursion, I assume? On the Way back home similarly time in Iceland 6.15am to 4 pm and planning to visit the Blue Lagoon. Any additional tips? Thanks in Advance!

Hi, because your time is very limited on the way there and back, I would recommend either hiring a car yourself from the airport and driving (try Blue Car Hire - they are outstanding), or using a private transport company who can tailor a tour to suit your time. They can pick you up from the airport and drop you back too. There are quite a few private tour companies listed on Tripadvisor who are affordable and once you provide your time details they can tell you what they can fit in for you.
I doubt you'll be able to do the National Park as there is so much to see here, however Gullfoss waterfall and Geysir is doable.
If you end up hiring a car, make sure you request a GPS as this will make things easier for you and lessen time wasted.
As for the Blue Lagoon, make sure you book ahead or you'll miss out altogether. They receive dozens of coaches and buses all day long and entry is timed, so it's busy all year round. An alternative is to book a bus tour from the airport to take you if you plan to do nothing else that day but the Blue Lagoon. Have a lovely time in Iceland.
