The group, made up of 19 hikers, was in the Papenoo Valley in Tahiti when the water surprised them following a heavy downpour in the mountains.
Rescue efforts were launched immediately for the three missing people.
The bodies of a man and a woman were found downstream.
A helicopter had been mobilised in the hope of recovering the body of the third victim, who is said to be from France.
