The accident happened when Scraper slipped and fell, with Gamble and Lyakh also getting swept away as they tried to save her, the Vancouver Sun reported.
The group said: “They were three of the warmest, kindest and most driven and outgoing people you could ever meet.”
High On Life are based in Vancouver and were formed by Gamble, Lyakh and another high school friend, Parker Heuser, after they travelled the world in 2012.
They decided to turn travel and video production into a full-time job and often promoted brands and destinations in the pictures and videos they posted from exotic locations.
Their Facebook page says: “High On Life is the attitude to embrace all of life’s opportunities with a positive outlook and energy.”
Followers of the group have received the news with shock as they pour in tributes under their posts on various social media platforms.
