Best overlap: 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Honolulu is 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in Auckland.
Book within 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM Honolulu time (8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in Auckland) and both teams will be at work. This is one of the easier pairings: 8 hours of shared time means flexible, low-stress scheduling. Because of the gap, Auckland is already on the next day, so confirm you're both talking about the same calendar date. Seasonal note: Auckland uses daylight saving and Honolulu doesn't, so double-check the times in your own months — they can move by an hour.
