What you want to say is "Will we have enough time to do some sightseeing during the stopover?".

It depends on whether you think that it is likely to be a possibility or not. If you're sure that there will be time available and you would like to use it to do sightseeing, then an appropriate phrase would be:
"May we use some time to go sightseeing during the stopover?"
However, if you're trying to work out whether there will even be enough time, then I think that the better phrase would be:
"Is it possible that we will have enough time to go sightseeing during the stopover?"

No.
Could we have some time for sightseeing during stopover.

Is it grammatically correct to say "Can we have enough time to do some sightseeing during stopover"?
No. "May" instead of "can", if you are asking for permission. "Will" or "do" instead of "can", if you wish to know if time will be available.
And people answering here who are including the words "the" and "our" before "stopover" in their answers are most likely American, and therefore don't realize that it is proper not to include them in a sentence such as this one. They say things like "the university" and "the hospital" when other countries will simply say "university" and "hospital".

No-it should be "Do we have enough time to fit in some sightseeing during our stopover?"

No you are not correct.
What you should say is ..........
"Do we have enough time to do some sightseeing during stopover?" - or -
"May we have enough time to do some sightseeing during stopover?"

No, no, no. (shudder) Try this:
"During our stopover, will we have any time to do some sightseeing?"

Or you could say, Is it possible to make enough time to see some sites before we leave.

It's a valid sentence structure. The real answer depends on the intended meaning and whether "can," "may," "will," "shall," or "might" is what you really want to ask.

you want "do we have enough time..."
or "will we have enough time..."
and "...during the stopover" or "...during our stopover".
