Are the rafts “self-bailing”?
Yes. Self-bailing rafts have holes in the bottom that allow water to drain out. They also have thick inflated floors that hold your feet above the river and insulate you from the cold water. By comparison, old-fashioned rafts have tightly sealed floors that trap water inside the raft. Guests must sit with their feet in cold water. Modern self-bailing rafts keep you drier and more comfortable than old-fashioned rafts. They are also safer, because the thick floor acts as a buffer against rocks in the river, preventing foot injuries, and because water can’t swamp the raft, causing it to lose control.
