Turtle Island's Owner and Managing Director, Richard Evanson, was an entrepreneur on the fast track to success. He earned an Engineering degree, went on to study at Harvard Business School, and made his fortune in cable television. By 1972, he was burnt out and found a welcome escape in the Fiji Islands. Richard purchased Nanuya Levu, a 500-acre barren, uninhabited island in the Yasawa Islands where he arrived with little more than a generator, refrigerator, and tent. The island had been completely overrun by wild goats, and Richard made it his life work to rejuvenate the land and build himself a new home. In order to reverse the damage inflicted by the wild goats, Richard employed a team of local villagers to plant hundreds and thousands of trees. Richard then renamed his property “Turtle Island.” Recognized worldwide as the site of the “Blue Lagoon” films, Turtle Island is becoming legendary for even more reasons. From hydroponic and organic vegetable gardens to providing secondary education to the young people of seven local villages.
