The bodies of two men were found in the river last evening after being reported missing around 5.30 in the evening.
The body believed to be of a woman reported missing last Wednesday has also been found and the body of the girl she was with found on New Year's Eve.
A rahui is in place.
Water Safety New Zealand's Rob Hewitt says it's important everyone understands water safety.
He says people need to ensure they have a plan for who is looking out for children, what to do if something goes wrong and what floatation devices can be used.
