Hacienda Shore Excursion from Progreso
This Hacienda shore excursion Progreso option is a private day from the ship to a hacienda, with a driver and guide who plan the schedule around your all-aboard time. Pickup can be arranged at the pier, and you send a quote request to begin.
Excursion options
Haciendas were the large estates built on Yucatán's henequen boom. Some are working plantations, some are museums and some are hotels that serve lunch. We pick one that matches your interests and the day's timing.
Whether you search for hacienda from Progreso cruise port or Progreso hacienda excursion, the plan below is the same: a private vehicle and a guide for your group, with the day built around your ship's schedule.
- Working henequen hacienda with a demonstration and a cenote
- A restored hacienda hotel with a tour and lunch
- Two haciendas in one day for travelers who want variety
Timing: pier to pier
For a Hacienda shore excursion Progreso day, ships dock at Progreso roughly from 8:00 to 17:00, and the cruise pier is about 6 to 7 km long, so the first minutes of the day go to getting from the gangway to the meeting point.
For a hacienda, the drive is about 70 minutes each way, or about 2 hours 20 minutes on the road in total.
