For anyone looking at buying property in Hawaii, especially on the island of Kauai, there are numerous areas that hold wonders many tourists never take the time to see. So, to help you in finding outstanding Kauai real estate, here are six locations in Kauai that you have to see to believe:

The Alakai Wilderness Preserve: This area of Kauai sounds like the last place heaven would be, yet it is precisely what paradise is to many people. Although the locals refer to it as 'Alaka'i swamp' it is not a swamp, but a natural preserve of bog land. These bogs are great to hike at any time, and were created by their proximity to Mount Wai'ale'ale, which is one of the wettest places on earth. If you enjoy nature then this is a great place to explore and 'discover' for yourself the rare plants and birds that live here.

Hanalei Bay: The largest bay on Kauai's North Shore where you'll find over two miles of beautiful beach back dropped by lush, green mountains and waterfalls. For those who love a wonderful small town with beautiful scenery you will want to visit the town of Hanalei, which sits mid-point of the bay. You will find some breathtaking real estate both in the town area as well as on the bay itself.

Ke'e Beach: Voted by the islanders as one of the most beautiful beaches on the island, it's also a great place to enjoy with the family. While you can only reach it by foot path, it is known for having no currents, no waves, and extremely shallow water - which make it the perfect family spot. But, be careful, those that venture further out into the reefs can get caught in the currents on the outskirts of the bay. Want to find some beautiful Kauai real estate close by? There are miles of wonderful areas that you can call your own.

Limahuli Garden and Preserve: Love a good hike through some of the most spectacular gardens and nature preserves that Hawaii has to offer? The Limahuli Garden and Preserve offers just that. With awards such as the best natural botanical garden in the US and the top award from the Hawaii Tourism Authority, who could ask for a better place to enjoy the day, some photography, or just a walk in the Hawaiian sunshine? Want to find some Kauai real estate near this beautiful park? You won't have a problem here, and there are a number of local-area Realtors who will help you.

Wailua River State Park: For anyone into kayaking or canoeing, who loves hiking and massive, 150-foot waterfalls, this is the park for you. Wailua River is Hawaii's only navigable rive and home to Opaeka'a Falls, which can be seen for miles. There are several residential areas close by from which to enjoy all this state park offers throughout the year.

Waimea Canyon State Park: Have you ever wished you could own real estate on the Galapagos Islands? Or perhaps around the Grand Canyon? Wouldn't that be a thing to have? Yet if you purchase some Kauai Real Estate you have the next best thing - or even better. The Waimea Canyon was likened to the Grand Canyon by Mark Twain, only the Kauai version isn't as deep. It is, however 'Grander'. It has a volcano smack bang in the middle of it, and is more awe-inspiring. It is filled with trees, and deserving its comparison with the Galapagos, contains flowers and rare bird species found only on Kauai. It might also contain unique animals and insects, only they haven't been discovered yet. Perhaps you could discover them and even put your name to them if you had some real estate here.

For anyone wanting to enjoy the true Hawaiian beauty that Kauai offers - these are six great places to start. Of course, there are some other areas around the island you'll want to check out also, to make sure you find the perfect place to call home on Kauai.
