Wanderlust World Wanderlust World Dallas, Texas, observes Central Time (CT), while Maui, Hawaii, follows Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (HAST) year-round, as Hawaii does not observe Daylight Saving Time.
During standard time (roughly November to March), Central Time is two hours ahead of Hawaii-Aleutian Time. For example, when it's 12:00 PM (noon) in Dallas, it's 10:00 AM in Maui.
From March to November, Dallas switches to Central Daylight Time (CDT), moving clocks forward one hour. During this period, the gap widens to three hours—so 12:00 PM in Dallas becomes 9:00 AM in Maui.
| Period | Dallas Time | Maui Time | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Time (Nov–Mar) | 12:00 PM | 10:00 AM | 2 hours |
| Daylight Time (Mar–Nov) | 12:00 PM | 9:00 AM | 3 hours |
Always confirm current local times when scheduling calls or travel, as transition dates can shift slightly each year.
