This family's experience:

Activities: We went to Haukadalur Valley to see Geysir, which has stopped erupting in recent years, but Strokkur puts on a reliable show every five or ten minutes

Highlights: The kids loved watching Strokkur erupt and we had fun counting down and predicting when it would blow ✨
