Pate Island tour packages are for travellers who want even more remote Swahili history than Lamu. Villages such as Pate Town, Siyu and Faza were once powerful trading city-states, and their ruins, mosques and old forts can still be explored. The island is known for its skilled craftsmen who make shoes, leather goods and dhows. Access is by dhow from Lamu, and facilities are very basic, so hire a local guide.
