I was not impressed by this but would still recommend going to see it (if you have extra time). I was there for about 20 minutes and the Geysir never got bigger than a bubble. There were a ton of people here! The parking lots were full, the walkways were full, and couldn't leave because the crosswalks were always full. I would maybe see this in winter. From others photos it looks less busy and more impressive during that time of year.

The namesake of all geysers is currently in a semi-dormant phase, but its neighbor Strokkur erupts every 5-7 minutes! If you haven't seen a geyser before, this is truly an incredible sight!

Stunning natural wonder and amazing sight. A number of geysers are in this area. The biggest one erupts every 5 to 10 minutes with cheers from the crowd standing around it.
There is a hill beside those geysers. Visitors can climb on to the top of the hill for a grand view of this breathtaking mystic area.

So beautiful. One of our favorite spots on our self-guided Golden Circle tour. The large geyser erupts every 5 to 8 minutes and is easy to get photos of. The other pools are beautiful and have a lovely sulfur aroma.

I loved this place. Worth the trip to Iceland on its own. The geysers are very impressive and the area has good restaurants, shops and other facilities.

Always wanted to come and had great expectations so was very pleased by the visit. Very exciting waiting for the blast of steam and hot water and great when it does.

This is one of Iceland's top natural landmarks. It's very popular with tourists and can be quite crowded. It's ok, however, since the main geysir erupts approximately every 5 minutes and this gets people to move. The views are impressive and witnessing such an outstanding natural show of power will definitely make your day and feel more in touch with our planet that is indeed full of life. This area is rich with different hot springs but keep your distance since the temperature is said to be over 8°C.

Hehe awesome!
Sort of a "must see" in Iceland even though I enjoyed other things better.
I suggest standing at the highest spot around the geyser so you can see it starting to bubble and know when to take a picture.
Keep in mind that the amount of tourists packed in there is bigger than the resident count in New York.

This is really neat to see, but it's over exploited as a hot tourist spot -- and it's honestly not as big of a deal as the tourism industry makes it out to be. There's a huge cafe, restaurant, hotel, and the works devoted to this one geysir but it literally takes about 10 minutes to walk around and see everything. And once you've seen one eruption, that's about it. I've been to Yellowstone National Park in the U.S., and those hot springs and geysers are so much more interesting -- and there's a lot more to see. I expected more from this based on all the promotion. It was somewhat of another Golden Circle letdown (like Kerid Crater).

Incredible nature! No human intervention. These hot springs ( several of them ) erupt every now and then, the biggest can shoot up to the height of a two storey building or more, we see it twice. You never know when this will happen, standing there in the freezing cold with your finger waiting on the phone camera can be challenge.

This is pretty good if you have your expectations in check. On some days, the geysir can seem a little muted or weak and on some, it's really awesome. Photographing it (with good results) is pretty tricky. You might find that a shot from below is pretty good. The eruption/event should be every few minutes.

One of the coolest, and most beautiful, things I've ever seen in my life! The large geyser goes off every few minutes and ranges from small to huge explosions. It's so powerful and amazing to see! Make sure not to touch the water because you will be burned!

This place is SUPER Amazing!You must go here if you are going to the Golden Circle. The hot spring can 15 meters high and sometimes 40.It felt like a hot spring bomb was exploding.

Don't miss it when you are in Iceland. Pretty big geyser that i quite regular and is not falsely generated like some of the other famous geezers in the world

Erupts very frequently. Golden Circle is worth taking a day, and Geysir is a must see stop. Hiking the hill behind also offers some nice views.

Very interesting site. We were on a golden circle tour and were running behind so we got a bit rushed at this site. I could have spent a few hours here just watching the eruptions and been very happy. The visitors center at Geysir has a good gift shop but if you are on a golden circle tour and can hold out the cafeteria at Gulfoss is better.

Ticked all the boxes - ample free parking; excellent food choices (think services but with quality at the forefront!) and terrific displays of geysers both both small, medium & WOW!
A must see trip

Aside from the smell of sulfur, this geyser was pretty cool. Look at it from a few sides and be sure to stroll through the park. Was a little hard to find at first because we went in the evening but great sunset behind the geyser

A very impressive specimen, shooting steam up to about 20 metres high. However, this place is very busy in terms of tourism and it isn't a very big place so it is a tad over crowded and one may find themselves left with nothing to do after about 15-20 minutes.
That being said it is a very interesting and cool place to visit.

Saw this place through the Golden circle tour. The Strokkur geyser is still active and explodes every 5 minutes or so. It's very hard to catch on camera due to how fast it goes but it can shoot up to about 40 meters which is impressive! Other geysers are also in the area but their all dormant. Just across the road where the parking is there's a gift shop and these restaurants that meets pretty much all dietary needs!

So cool to see the geyser burst every 5 minutes. The store Geysir also has very fashionable and good quality clothes. However, you might find yourself getting uneasy seeing which animals they are made of. It was also quite heavily priced.

No visit to Iceland is complete without coming to Geysir. It's brilliant to watch, and the ever increasing tourist numbers reflect its draw. Easy to get to as well. I just visited it during the night (it's always open/free) to shoot aurora and it was pretty special!

It was very hard to get great photos of white steam on a grey cloudy day. But still amazing to see. PS temperatures are in Celsius so stop asking if you can touch the water. IT'S HOT..that's why they have warning signs every 20 feet. use common sense.
