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: For anyone that loves a great hike, this is the area to do it. It’s also known as the Alaka’i swamp because of the bogs that are native to this area of Hawaii. And, since the preserve is located on the plateau that sits on Mount Wai’ale’ale, you will find that it really lives up to being one of the wettest places on Earth. Almost constantly covered in a misty cloud, it’s very mysterious and romantic at the same time.

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: This is one of the most beautiful areas on Kauai and is reached by a small foot path. Ke’e Beach sits in the Na Pali Coast State Park and is calm and shallow making it a great place to take the family. Be careful venturing further out beyond the protective reef, as the currents outside the reef can be strong. Anyone would love to live near Ke’e Beach and residential property is close by so you can enjoy this beach any time you want.

Limahuli Garden and Preserve: This is an area of Kauai that you will love if you like scenery, and find walking and hiking relaxing. This area was given the top award by the Hawaiian Tourism Authority and has also been given the award for the best botanical garden in the USA. It offers some of the most spectacular gardens you will ever see, and is also a nature preserve. The photographic opportunities here are peerless, and there are plenty of Realtors in the area that will sell you a piece of land here: you can own your own piece of heaven on earth, because that’s what this Kauai Real Estate is. Sheer heaven!

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: Mark Twain called this ‘the Grand Canyon of Hawaii’, and while it has a long way to go to emulate the depth of that state feature, it contains a lot more natural wildlife and is more stunning to see. It has a massive volcano right in the center, which is what created the canyon originally, and the flowers, trees and rare birds it contains are found only on this island. It is more like Hawaii’s Galapagos than Grand Canyon, and if you purchase your Kauai Real Estate here, you will have something unique that none of your friends or relatives will have. A piece of nature and a piece of history: unique and original! How cool is that?

And that’s it. Six fabulous reasons to own Kauai real estate. They don’t have casinos and they don’t offer golf courses or tourist attractions other than those that Mother Nature created herself. There are many more lovely homes in Kauai you might prefer, but these are some of the best if you enjoy sheer natural beauty.
