Gareth Morgan in path of Pacific tsunami

New Zealand fund manager Gareth Morgan and his wife had to move to higher ground on the Galapagos island of Santa Cruz at the weekend when a tsunami generated by the Japanese earthquake raised water levels.

The parents of internet entreprenuer Sam Morgan have been on a motorcycling tour of the Americas.

The National Business Review reported that son Sam Morgan tweeted "mum and dad stuck up a hill in the Galapagos Islands after tsunami rips through and destroys their hotel".

They were staying at the Finch Bay Hotel.
