The filmer later wrote online: "We noticed a seal following us; this is normal when kayaking but this seal was coming closer than normal.

"I was taking photos and video of it and I was dropping back from the rest of the kayakers.

"I had dropped back about 50 metres behind two friends when the seal decided to come in for a close look at the back deck of my kayak.

"I was wary as it is a wild animal, and only a few feet away. It showed little fear and no sign of aggression."
