The craziest ones that I've seen:

Lanai, Hawaii....short, narrow, downhill, with a cliff at the end. I've never felt a 737 brake so hard!

Queenstown, NZ...drop in from the mountains to a super small strip

Oaxaca, Mexico....need to climb from takeoff and clear the dip in the mountain by 1000 feet or so if you're lucky.

PSO. Pasto, Colombia. If you have never landed on an aircraft carrier before, you're in for a treat. This is the next best thing. For best results, try mid-year during the windy season.
If the plane overshoots, you are going down, down, down a couple of kilometers! Add brilliant wind shear plus turbulence and its great!
