Passionate surfers should not miss Banzai Pipeline, a reef break off Sunset Beach notorious for giant waves. Waves grow to such heights that surfers can tube ride through the curls. Be warned that only very experienced surfers should attempt the waves at this destination, where the world's deadliest waves have killed several surfers and photographers. That said, even those without much interest in surfing can admire the action from the shore. Swim with caution and pay attention to the signs. Banzai Pipeline is just one of the many highlights you can arrange to see using our , international travel planner Edition.

Whether you surf there or not, the power of the waves also fogs up the glasses of those who are out of the water. The waves are so effervescent that you get salted like a fish right up to the parking.... more

This is a very iconic location. Many surf boarding competitions take place here. I loved watching the waves and the surfers.
