Kintamani is beautiful. The sellers are VERY persistant. Wood carvers switch the carving you see for an inferior one!! Be careful. For a good experience go down to the village near the lake. Cheap but clean hotels. Tours can be arranged from there. Usually the sunrise tour starts at 4 AM !!! It is quite strenuous. The lake trip to the traditional village is now "fixed" price per boat but they still try to get a tip from you. All good but keep your wits about you for the usual scams.
