About Steve Duck

Steve has been traveling the world since he was a child. The vacations to special places around the globe finally drew his itchy feet into the travel industry. For over a decade, Steve guided hiking, biking and gourmet tours across Vancouver Island and British Columbia, throughout Italy, New Zealand and Central America. While at home, he applied his adventurous creative style to events in the Greater Victoria area. Suds, a dog wash at a beer tasting, healthy cooking show at a half marathon and a wine tasting at a glass blowing studio entertained event participants. Since then, Steve has launched tides - The Island's Destination & Event Service - serving the Sidney, the Saanich Peninsula, the Gulf Islands and Vancouver Island.


Steve is a traveler at heart continuing to explore the Salish Sea and other local jewels. He is especially passionate for Italy where he regularly travels to. In his mid 40's, he ended up in il bel paese for six months a year, learning Italian. He loves cycling and being close to the water!
