- This is a favourite spot of ours, perfect for snorkelling and for little ones. I’ve been coming here since I was little.
A family on a kayak tapped us on the backs, told us there was a Grey Seal just behind us! We calmly floated round, and there it was! Perfect opportunity to teach my little girl about respecting wild animals, we observed and made no effort to follow. It kept circling back to us, hugging me and landing on my back! One of the most amazing experiences of my life.
Once we were out of the bay, the Seal kept popping back up every now and again, roughly the same spot, it almost looked like it was a bathing.

This made me cry! This is so beautiful, what a magical experience for you both!!!!
Was quite the magical experience, one we won’t ever forget
What an amazing experience! And what an affectionate seal! You were so lucky to experience this.
It was amazing, we felt very privileged to have met him. Something we’ll never forgot. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Amayzing, I am always slightly wary in the water with Grey's, but think I need to overcome this!!
Love this!!! Thanks for making this video...made my day!!! I used to go to the beaches in Dorset as a kid...now live in America...lovely!
Wow! What great experience, I know Kimmeridge beautiful place. I lived in Poole but live in Western Australia now. Thanks for that.
That guy was so friendly!!!!
Great video he looked very friendly. Am going there next weekend hope to have as good a snorkel as you had. Thanks for sharing 👍
It’s a lovely spot to snorkel, it’s one of the very few places a rare seaweed grows, peacocks tail. Look out for it 👍🏻
Incredible encounter, thanks so much for sharing. Absolutely amazing 🤗🤗
It was. We felt privileged to have experienced this. And such an important experience for my daughter. Thanks for liking and watching 👏🏻
Unbelievable 🤣 I would have been so uncontrollable lol
Honestly I was trying to stay so calm! Bloody amazing!
That is amazing. I've seen them fairly close when paddleboarding buy this is something else. Not sure how I would feel if it got on my back! Tremendous experience.
Was a magical encounter for us, something to remember for my daughter, she loves telling people about it
He or she obviously felt safe around you.
This is so cool! I need to get myself some snorkel gear!
Any areas in Dorset you would recommend for snorkeling? I'm local to the area but never done snorkeling before.
And what would the minimum gear I'd need?
Guessing a snorkel and some flippers 😂
Hi Callum!
Snorkel, mask, fins, wetsuit (suit/boots/gloves/hood- in colder water!) if you’re not to great at swimming buoyancy aid. Tell people where you’re going, or better always go with a buddy. Kimmeridge is great as has a snorkel trial this time of year. Durdle door (but go to the eastern side, Man of War - that rock is great!) and the door it’s self. Swanage pier is beautiful, just watch for boats/divers. If you go to Tynham Village, walk down to Warborrow Bay - you can only get there by boat of walking from Tynham, beautiful little cove with caves on your left/east before you get down to Warborrow. Studland/Old Harry Rocks - nice for sea grass and might spot some sea horses!
@@gemaargie amazing thank you 😌🙌🏼😇
Hopefully will get out in the water this summer!
