Sydney is 20 hours ahead of Honolulu

Best overlap: 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Honolulu is 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM in Sydney.

The hours that work for both Honolulu and Sydney are 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM (Honolulu) and 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM (Sydney). Sydney is 20 hours ahead of Honolulu, yet you get a full 6 hours of shared hours — enough to schedule around lunches, focus time, and preferences with ease. Just remember Sydney sits on the next day during this window, so double-check which calendar day you're booking. One seasonal catch: Sydney springs forward and falls back, but Honolulu doesn't, so the gap changes by an hour for several months of the year.
