Each site in the guide is accessible by a regular car.

Many areas in East Hawaii, barely mentioned in other guides, are covered in great detail from the authorsâ€™ personal experiences of living there. Stories and legends are told about events that happened in the area. The historical and cultural settings of each site is organized with descriptions to appeal to both seasoned and armchair travelers. The guide also showcases what is happening now at the areaâ€™s unique businesses, plantations, and macadamia nut factories.

Hiloâ€™s tropical gardens, green parks, and historic sites are described with photographs and background stories. A walking tour of downtown Hilo familiarizes visitors with the picturesque sites and buildings in the historic town. Volcanoes National Park and nearby sites are described in detail. The coastline and parks in Puna are described with detailed driving directions. South Point and unique sights in the remote district of Kau are described. Sights along the Hamakua Coast and directions to the international telescopes on Mauna Kea Volcano are also included. The book has Resources for visitors and links to websites with more information about shopping, and activities.

The guide has no ratings of hotels, restaurants, or tour companies. The authors believe that the most up to date customer reviews of restaurants and resorts are on the internet.

The authors, Tyler and Chris Mercier, have lived on Hawaii Island since 2007. They lived in Hilo for two years before moving to the west side of the island. The authors researched each site using original materials from early explorers and Hawaiian historians to provide the most accurate view of what happened. They visited every site in the book and took thousands of photographs to document every location. The authors created regional maps and tour maps to allow visitors to plan their trips each day and select the sites they want to see. The authorsâ€™ hope that the guide shows the immensity and variety of Hawaii Island to every visitor and encourages them to return.
