One of the most beautiful islands for a day trip from Phuket. Nice snorkelling, coral fish, tortoises. Better rent a private yacht or sailing catamaran from Star Sailing Club for a day trip . Also you can see dolphins family at the south-east side.

Ideal location and peaceful. Good chance to see dolphins - seems to be a resident pod there. Clear water, good snorkeling, not crowded. Going ashore they want to much in fees so not worth it. A private resort. You can go ashore at the opposite end of the island with out cost. Nice beach no one there

Love and miss the private island!!! I was not a fan of beach nor water sports. I don't even swim. But after spending a half day enjoying the sunbath and snorkeling with my girlfriend, i'm totally in love with Maiton Island! The food was average, but spaghetti and salad were good. Tour guides were friendly and helpful. The clear sea water and fine sand were the most impressive gift from the nature. We enjoyed the short visit and would like to be there again.

We booked a private tour to visit this island as we wanted to stay away from the usual crowded places. The island is privately owned and has a non-working hotel which was badly damaged during the tsunami. It is currently being renovated. We could clearly see the damage the tsunami caused. The island itself is beautiful. While exploring we found an area where there were loads of sea cucumbers. Overall we had a fantastic day .

Day trip by speedboat to this privately owned island. Snorkelling at the coral reef just off the absolutely pristine white sand beach was one of my highlights of our 2 weeks in Thailand. An experience I will never forget. The seafood lunch was really delicious too. Perfect day except for the tour bus to and from the port. I think the driver only knew how to use first and second gear.
