Tour or rental car?
A tour is easier in winter and if you dislike driving. A car lets you stay longer at Arnarstapi and walk the full cliff path to Hellnar. Read the getting there page and driving safety before deciding.
Ask about time at Arnarstapi. If the cliff walk matters to you, pick an itinerary that gives at least 45 to 60 minutes in the village.
