Man maybe hoping to include papa, touring archipelago? (6-7)
I believe the answer is:
island-hopping
'man maybe hoping to include papa touring archipelago?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'man maybe hoping to include papa' is the wordplay.
'man maybe' becomes 'island' (Isle of Man is an example).
'to include' indicates putting letters inside.
'papa' becomes 'P' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'hoping' going around 'p' is 'hopping'.
'island'+'hopping'='ISLAND-HOPPING'
