💡 Good to know for this plan
- ~19.5 hours of daylight in June — the plan keeps days inside a realistic window.
- Longer daylight makes the exposed village roads and Funningur–Gjógv walk easier to sequence, but every day still requires a current wind, rain, visibility and road check.
- Light days: day 1, day 4 have one stop and time left over. Local tours and day trips are the way to fill them — each day links to what is bookable in its own town.
