I just noticed that under the quest marker, it shows a horn. If you hover your mouse over the horn, it shows a timer of when the next expedition will begin, and what it is.

A World of Warcraft quest in Valdrakken. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Not usually one to complain about new content but this has to be one of the worst designed outdoor events in a long time. Just miserably dull, a repetitive slog without any flavour whatsoever and entirely impossible to do without a solid group of people - which is no help since Zaralek already seems dead.
For those confused like I was, this is an event like The Hunt. It starts event starts at a set time and you must look at your map to see where the blue areas are and go there and complete the objectives. Currently it is bugged and you can't complete it, it stalls at one point or another.
