"Located aboutan hour northeast from Reykjavík and part of the famed Golden Circle tour (along with Gullfoss), the Geysir hot springsarea consists of arounda dozen hot water blowholes, including the eponymous Geysir. The Strokkur blowhole is the most popular, principally because it regularly(every few minutes, usually) spouts its boiling water up to 100 feet into the air. It’s still worth looking around at the other pools, even if they haven’t erupted for years or even decades, since they usually offer interesting colors and bubbling geothermal activity. The site also hasa hotel, souvenir shop, café, and a related exhibition."

One of the most beautiful places on the Golden Circle route is here. You can visit bubbling hot springs with temperatures between 80 and 100 degrees and eat the famous Icelandic soup at a nearby restaurant and enjoy your trip to Iceland.

Good place to see geysers here. There is a big one 20m every 4-7 minutes and a small 1m almost continuous one. If you want to see many more and much bigger ones go to Yellowstone.

🌫️📸 Iconic spot but very touristy The geyser is impressive and definitely something to see at least once. The eruptions can reach a surprising height. But the area felt very crowded and touristy. I think geysers are more magical in quieter, less busy places. Still, it’s a famous site for a reason.

An amazing geothermal area that reminded me a lot of of the old faithful area of Yellowstone. While the original Geysir is no longer active, there is another one named Strokker that does erupt on a regular basis. We saw several eruptions while we were there, and it seems every other one is big and the in between ones are rather small. There is a nice walking trail that takes you through boiling pools and steam vents as well. Plenty of parking, and a large restaurant and gift shop here as well.

Crowded. But still a lot of fun! Parking was easy. Great gift shop with options to eat. The paths were super well maintained and accessible. The walk up the hill was great with a beautiful view, surrounded with lupin.

I thought this was just going to be a geyser that a ton of people waited to see erupting, but it’s a fantastic beautiful area full of steam and springs and the star or the show the Strokkur geyser gifting us an eruption every 4-10 minutes. It was ADORABLE to see people clapping and cheering at the geyser, so happy and proud of her!!!! Adorable. And the walk is beautiful and it’s great to get thermal steam in your face and lungs. I loved this

We were originally going to skip the Geysir, as the parking lot was so crowded. But I am glad we decided to go and walk around. The main attraction is to watch the Geysir erupt every 6-8 minutes, but don’t just settle for that like most tourists, as the 20-minute hike to the top was definitely worthwhile. Amazing panoramic views of the countryside, and you can still see the eruptions from the top. On a clear day you can see the water mist from Gullfoss. Several restaurants and stores in the area, so it’s a good place to stop for food and drinks or a bio break. Parking is not free, but it’s easy to pay via the QR code.
