Bootstrap overlay over image blocks button

Question

I am trying to currently trying to create an overlay for a card body in Bootstrap. But i am not sure how to proceed now because the overlay keeps blocking the button that is located inside the card and I need to be able to click on the button. Not sure what to do now, some help would be amazing.

Html is here:

    .rafting {
        background-image: url(./img/rafting.jpg);
        background-size: cover;
        color: white;
        
    }
    
    .rafting:before {
      content: "";
      position: absolute;
      left: 0; right: 0;
      top: 0; bottom: 0;
      background: rgba(0,0,0,.5);
    }

Use z-index on the element you want to be on top. I usually start with a value of 9 and keep adding 9's until I get the desired effect.

i.e.:

.button {
  z-index: 9;
}

Image parent div need to be "position:relative" and overlay is "position: absolute". When you hover the image, Overlay display.

.column {
  width: 300px;
  color: white;
  position: relative;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}

.column:before {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  top: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, .5);
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  z-index: 1;
  opacity: 0;
  transition: all 300ms ease;
}

.column img {
  width: 100%;
}

.btn-primary {
  position: absolute;
  z-index: 2;
}

.column:hover:before {
  opacity: 1;
  transition: all 300ms ease;
}

<section class="offres">
  <h2 class="text-center">NOS OFFRES</h2>
  <div class="container">
    <div class="row text-center">
      <div class="column">
        <img class="mb-5" src="https://images.pexels.com/photos/844297/pexels-photo-844297.jpeg" alt="Snow">
        <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
      </div>
      <div class="column">
        <img class="mb-5" src="https://images.pexels.com/photos/844297/pexels-photo-844297.jpeg" alt="Forest">
        <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
      </div>
      <div class="column">
        <img class="mb-5" src="https://images.pexels.com/photos/844297/pexels-photo-844297.jpeg" alt="Mountains">
        <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Hello</a>
