Our 5 night stopover from Tonga to Sydney exploring this iconic island and an incredible dive with sharks

We had booked a week through Quest Tours from Australia to swim with Humpback Whales in Tonga, this included flights from Sydney via Fiji to Va'vau in Tonga, accommodation for the week in Va'vau and the whale experience for 5 days. As this trip was flying out of Sydney it gave us the opportunity to stay over for a few days in Sydney to see my brother and his family who have lived there for well over 20 years and also break the trip up with a 5 night stop over on the way back from Tonga in Fiji. We started our adventure by flying counter clockwise to Australia, first to New York Liberty, then over to San Francisco and finally onto the longest flight we had ever been on, the 15 and a quarter hour flight to Sydney. I have broken down the trip into the three separate destinations below as they were three very different holidays all rolled into one.
