Yes, but they are rare. Only one option (11% of the listings we compare) is tagged as eco-friendly. This tag indicates a specific focus on sustainability, but it is not a certification. If environmental impact is a priority, you will need to check the details of that single listing carefully, as most other tours do not carry this designation.
