Time in Kauai

Time

Hawaii is on Hawaiian Standard Time, five hours behind New York and two hours behind Los Angeles.

When the U.S. mainland is on daylight saving time, Hawaii is not, so add an extra hour of time difference between the islands and U.S. mainland destinations. You may also find that things generally move more slowly here. That has nothing to do with your watch -- it's just the laid-back way called Hawaiian time.
