Take a tour of Spiral Island II and see Richie Sowa's dream turned into a reality for all to enjoy!

What is Spiral Island II? It is a tropical island paradise floating on over 100,000 recycled plastic bottles. It is about 20 meters (60 feet) in diameter, always growing and improving.
Here is the plan:

Invite your friends family and contacts, to join and become a Spiral Islander today and help spread the word about Rishi Sowa's Spiral Island II dream.

From 1998 to 2005, Rishi Sowa hand-built and lived on the first Spiral Island, which floated on over 300,000 recycled bottles! It was destroyed by Hurricane Emily in 2005. Rishi has now built an even better island at Isla Mujeres, Mexico, in a lagoon which offers shelter from bad weather! Rishi will continue to make improvements to the Island, so it will always be a eco-work-of-art in progress!
