Poor Knights and Goat Island are great spots and in summer not that cold.

However there is another – one of Wellington’s best kept secrets is on its southern shore – the Taputeranga Marine Reserve at Island Bay and surrounds. Here are three websites with information about the reserve:
Department of Conservation
Island Bay Marine Education Centre
Friends of Taputeranga

While the water isn’t exactly tropical, once you get in you are rewarded with an abundance of scenery and aquatic live that shows what our oceans used to look like before we started robbing the seas. Highly recommended!
