Strokkur is a geyser located in the geothermally active Haukadalur Valley in southwest Iceland. It is famous because it is a very active geyser, which typically erupts—shooting water into the air—at least half a dozen times an hour.

Any time is a good time of year to visit Strokkur as the geyser is reliably active all year round. However, many travelers prefer to visit between spring and early fall—around May to September—for the best chance of clear skies and mild temperatures.

Strokkur’s geyser eruption can go as high as 131 feet (40 meters), but it is more typical for it to reach between 49–66 feet (15–20 meters). That’s significantly lower than Geysir’s soaring heights of 200 feet (61 meters), but Strokkur’s reliability ensures visitors are not disappointed.

Yes, Strokkur is part of the Golden Circle route. The classic Golden Circle route takes in Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss waterfall, and the Geysir geothermal area where Strokkur is located. Many tours add on additional attractions, such as the Secret Lagoon or Kerid Crater.
