The 26th Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals (SMM 2026) is making history as the first SMM conference held in Latin America. From October 19–23, 2026, thousands of scientists, researchers, and conservationists will gather at the Puerto Rico Convention Center (Centro de Convenciones Pedro Rosselló) in San Juan.
With pre-conference workshops starting on October 17, planning your logistics early is essential. Whether you are staying at the Sheraton Puerto Rico Hotel & Casino, Hyatt Place San Juan, or a beachfront resort in Condado, our private taxi service provides the most reliable connection for the SMM community.
🚕 Why Pre-Book Your SMM 2026 Conference Transfer?
The Convention Center district (Isla Grande) is a bustling hub. During a major international event like SMM 2026, taxis and rideshares can face long wait times and high demand.
• Direct Airport-to-Hotel Service: Skip the long airport taxi lines at SJU (Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport). Your driver will be waiting for you at arrivals, ready to take you directly to your hotel or the Convention Center.
