💡 Good to know for this plan

~11.4 hours of daylight in February.
The drier winter window is the most reliable baseline; reserve lodging and confirm attraction, coast and road conditions.
Light days: day 2, day 4, day 6 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.

This is a planning draft. Check these changing details for your dates before booking or travelling.
