Welcome to the “Panther Den”
The panther has long been regarded as a symbol of power and mastery.
It is the silent hunter, commanding every one of its over 500 liquid steel muscles with discipline, grace, and absolute control.
It is this balance between its savage primal energy and its patient, calculating fluidity that we seek to garner in the Panther Den,

Bio on Instuctor:
Sasa first began practicing martial arts as a young child growing up in Serbia. There he mastered the techniques of close combat. For the past twenty five years Sasa has been traveling the world as an acclaimed painter and creative artist while simultaneously broadening his knowledge of combat arts. From his travels, Sasa has been exposed to combat styles endemic to various cultures. In Holland and Thailand he was able to perfect his kickboxing skills and competed professionally. During his time in Holland and later Canada, Sasa learned Krav Maga. Here in Dominical, Costa Rica, Sasa has been training the local police department and also offers martial arts classes to locals and tourists. It has always been his dream to create an outdoor gym where he could teach the physical and mental concepts essential to all martial arts, and life in general. The Panther Den is his handmade manifestation of that dream.

Jungle Hike: You’ll only get this adventure through Sunset Surf Dominical! Come to our private 650-acre jungle preserve and go on a guided hike through primary rain forest full of howler monkeys, sloths, 200 year old trees, fresh water streams and pristine views of the Pacific Ocean.
Reptile Park: Visit the South Pacific Zone’s only reptile and Amphibian Park and Costa Rica’s largest and most diverse reptile Exhibition. All of these magnificent animals are housed in 55 terrarium style secure enclosures on a little more than an acre of land. Bring your camera and spend as much time as you’d like exploring the garden, ponds, exhibits and feeding times!
Flight of the Toucan: The Rainforest Zip line tour imitates the flight of the chestnut-mandible toucan, as it leaps off a branch, swoops down through the forest and then up into another tree. On this tour, 8 separate cable rides take you from one ridge top to another, across valleys and streams. There are 14 land based platforms and 1 tree platform with a view of the coast. You will have 2 guides on this tour, one of whom speaks fluent English. This is a great way to see and learn about the forest and have lots of fun at the same time.
Nauyaca Waterfalls / Horseback Riding: These wonderful waterfalls are one of the main attractions of the Southern Pacific Zone of Costa Rica. This tour is known in the area as Don Lulo’s Horseback Riding Waterfall Tour. It starts in the beautiful Baru valley, where your guide will lead you through meandering trails on your way to the Barucito River. During your peaceful ride you will marvel at the exotic birds and wildlife before arriving at Don Lulo’s house for a traditional “Tico style” breakfast. Here you will meet some more of our jungle friends at Don’s mini zoo. You can hold a toucan and scarlet macaw and maybe even pet a sloth! After relaxing for awhile it’s time to mount up again and enjoy the journey to the amazing Nauyaca waterfalls. Once at the falls it’s time to take in the experience of these majestic cascades. With the water falling from a height of 150 feet into a huge, sparkling, 20 foot deep swimming hole below you will think that you have arrived at the Garden of Eden. Depending on how adventurous you are, you can climb up the falls as high as you dare and take the plunge into the clear, cool water below, or you can just enjoy a refreshing swim.
(We can customize your package however you would like. We also offer just martial art classes without surf lessons if interested please contact us!)
