Great views to see and to take in. Glad we got to stop hear as part of our golden circle day trip. A fee was mentioned for those not part of a trip so I would personally question paying such a fee. Full review by emilyAS95

Summary : Entry cost of 600ISK is unjustified as there is no infrastructure that that fee would contribute to. You can (and should) jump the fence to get in as there is no security. Longer version: … Full review by Connector21833662814

This is a very impressive crater and quite larger than it seems. You can walk around the rim and even take some steps to the bottom. It's a nice short stop on the golden circle. Full review by Karim M
What time does Kerio crater close? We plan to visit after our evening visit to the Secret Kagoon and probably won’t make it till after 10 pm.

Hi! we are headed to iceland in a few weeks and I see that many people say Kerid Crater was not as impressive as other sites... We are active and like to hike. What areas would you suggest that are "must see"? Thank you for sharing any thoughts and suggestions! We are only there for 2 days and we want to make the most of it! Thanks, again, Lauren

Hi! Hike up to Glymur! It’s close to Reykjavík and it’s beautiful (and it’s Iceland’s second highest waterfall)... or hike to hveragerði which is the natural hot spring about 25miles …
Hi! Hike up to Glymur! It’s close to Reykjavík and it’s beautiful (and it’s Iceland’s second highest waterfall)... or hike to hveragerði which is the natural hot spring about 25miles away from Reykjavík. It’s about 45 minutes each way and many say its better than the blue lagoon, and FREE! The crater is very boring but if you’re already going along the golden circle you might as well stop but sadly it’s nothing special. Good luck & have a blast!!!!
