We calculate the carbon footprint per tour and publish the results after each ride. Our 100% electric tuk-tuks eliminate tailpipe emissions, and the total footprint depends on the energy mix at charging stations; expect about 0.5–1.5 kg CO2 per traveler for a typical 2–3 hour route. We offset remaining emissions through verified local projects, after review with our sustainability partners, ensuring a credible balance that travelers can trust.

Waste reduction starts with banning single-use plastics and providing reusable bottles and cups at every stop. We sort waste after each tour into plastics, paper, metal, and organics, with a target of diverting 85–95% from landfill by 2026. We partner with venues that practice recycling and composting, and we maintain a digital system to reduce paper usage, while keeping the experience efficient and pleasant for all.
