If you do not do this quest at the end of the chain (I didn't--I must have just hearthed back) and you are trying to figure out how to get back to the island to pick it up so you can get your World Quests: you talk to Grand Admiral Jes-Tereth, on the Wind's Redemption (the ship where you do follower missions, etc). She'll sail you to any of the Zandalar areas.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
