A small, fast probe would take over 10 years to get there in the best conditions. A manned ship would take much longer.
Waiting for the perfect launch windows, it would still take well over 10 years for a small probe to get to Haumea. A manned ship would take even longer.
With our current spacecraft technology, getting a small probe out to the Kuiper Belt to visit a dwarf planet such as Haumea would take at least ten years. As technology improves spacecraft will get faster and more efficient, decreasing travel time, but until then it would take quite a long time.
3.9155 Earth-hours.
A day on Haumea is just 3.9155 hours. A year is equal to 284.12 Earth-years.
Haumea makes a complete rotation in just 3.9155 hours, making its day very short compared to Earth's.

Haumea takes 283.28 years to orbit the Sun.
Haumea is sometimes known by its minor-planet designation, 136108 Haumea.
To the best of our knowledge, no satellites or robots have directly explored the planet Haumea. Haumea is a dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune, and its distance from Earth makes it challenging to send a mission there. Most of our knowledge about Haumea comes from observations made by telescopes on Earth.
Haumea's rotational period is 3.9155 hours.

No. Haumea is not classified as a planet. It is a dwarf planet.
Yes, Haumea is a rocky, terrestrial planet.
