There is also an additional geyser near Stokkur and both go off relatively frequently. Definitely a fascinating place to explore, and not to miss if you are on the Golden Circle.

This was my favorite stop along the golden circle. There are beautiful trails surrounding the geyser and if you get up to the high point you have great views. If in June the lupine will be blooming as well.

I have never seen a geyser before, so watching this nature wonder from up close was really amazing. I totally recommend to plan a visit even if it takes you outside of your itinerary as it extremely impressive.

The color and light are other worldly. If there are clear skies, you're in for an absolute treat. During the peak hours this place can get pretty busy (tour buses and other groups tend to stop here frequently).

I've been to Old Faithful before, but something about this geyser was different. Most likely, it was the fact that I was alllll the way over in Iceland, a foreign country to me. However, this was still something extremely powerful to see in person. About ever ~2 minutes or so, the geyser would erupt nearly 2 stories high. Sitting patiently, waiting to catch another eruption and capture it with my camera was actually very fun. The surprise of the eruption excites you every time and makes your heart race. Definitely recommend!

Going to Geysir is fun if you've never seen a thermal feature before. If you have visited Yellowstone and have a limited time in Iceland, I would skip visiting here. Fairly underwhelming to Yellowstone's geysers and hot springs. If you are already driving the Golden Circle, it's worth a quick stop.

The original geyser has been damaged due to people throwing trash and soap in it over the years. I suppose it will never return to its former glory but definitely a worthy site on the Golden Circle...be sure to stop off at Gulfoss though!

The Golden Circle is an easy day trip out of Reykjavik. This is the middle stop between Þingvellir National Park and Gullfoss the spectacular waterfall. It is a busy parking lot with lots of tour buses. It is a short walk once you fight your way through the cafe and gift shop across the road to the geyser. There a plenty of people standing around Strokkur so you definitely won't miss it. There are a number of other pools of various size and color to look at, but we spent most of our time watching the geyser. There is a higher point that you can walk up to, seems to be about a half mile that would provide a decent look out of at least a 270 degree view point, but we opted to skip that part although many continued down the trail. The food in the cafe seemed to be interesting, but we wanted to get away from the crowds and drive on further. We drove a little out of our way based on a recommendation from a local for lunch at Friðheimar a tomato farm that has excellent homemade tomato soup and bread. It is all you can eat with unlimited water, coffee and tea as well included in the price. They do close at 4 pm, but let us stay longer. They have a few other drink and food options but the soup and setting was a fun and unique experience.
