Many tourists visit Strokkur because of the frequency and reliability of its eruptions. The geyser shoots water 15-40 m (49-131 ft) every 4-8 minutes. Many tours stop at this geyser, one of Iceland's largest and most famous. A pleasant alternative is renting a car and driving to this geothermal region, which is on the Golden Circle route. Free parking is available on site. With our world travel planner, Geysir attractions like Strokkur can be center stage of your vacation plans, and you can find out about other attractions like it, unlike it, near it, and miles away.

  I'd seen a lot, but I'd never seen a geyser. That changed on our Golden Circle tour. Strokkur is a very active geyser, who sprays a mighty jet into the air every few minutes. The water starts bubbling and then suddenly hoppa. Photos do not do justice to the phenomenon. The video I have still gives me goosebumps. You haven't been to Iceland if you haven't seen a geyser.

  Cool place. Someone said that the downside is nearby restaurant but that was actually so much appreciated in cold weather. Enjoyed the geysers and enjoyed the hot soup after.

  We were there mid September and it wasn't crowded at all. The geyser erupts regularly and it's really impressive! You'll have to accept te scent but the visit is totally worth it.
