A must see during a trip to Madeira, well worth a visit, great fun getting here by cable car but go early and avoid cruise ships docking days or you will be queuing for over an hour before your trip.
Gardens themselves are stunningly beautiful, you can spend half a day here with lovely views, gorgeous flora & fauna , places to stop , eat and drink .
Must be able bodied however lots of walking both up and downhill with lots of steps / steep slopes in some areas.
Look for skip the queue deals on line for entry tickets
