At one point, a man is seen in the water.
Another clip shows people being led to safety wrapped in blankets.
The footage was taken by Chris Johnson,who described the landing as dangerous.
He said: "A boat with eight asylum seekers landing under 300ft cliffs. It could have been a lot worse if the tide was not in favour."
It is understood there were two landings in Dover today.
The Home Office and Kent Police have been approached for a comment.
