Voted on by travel and tourism    professionals worldwide, these awards aim to celebrate    organisations that push the boundaries of industry excellence.  <\/p>\n<p>    According to Australian founder and owner of Sigatoka River    Safari, Jay Whyte: We are delighted that our company has been    honoured by the prestigious World Travel Awards.  <\/p>\n<p>    To be recognised at this worldwide level for all our tours,    the Sigatoka River Safari, Off-Road Caves Safari, River Jets    and Water Blob, is an amazing achievement and a true testament    to our dedicated team, who each day work hard to ensure our    guests experience unforgettable and authentic Fijian tours.  <\/p>\n<p>    Sigatoka River Safari first began operations in 2006 and is the    worlds first jet-boat safari and village experience of its    kind. It offers visitors of all ages a half-day adventure into    the heart and soul of Fiji.
