An easier way is to park your airship outside of the returner's hideout, ride the river (with mog) and he'll learn water Rondo from the river. Then when you get off of the river, you can simply walk down to Nikeah, and ride the ferry to South Figaro, and walk (or chocobo) back up to the returner's hideout.Then you can skip most of that other stuff, including serpent trench, the walk to Doma, the phantom forest, and crossing the Veldt.
