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.

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.
