It is about 10km away from city center, taxi is the best as it can take you to anywhere you want to in this limited duration. Public buses are available but they take much longer time.

You would need to stay one night in Guilin. As I know, the cruise only departs at morning time around 9am to Yangshuo. There is no public transfer to the wharf. You can use taxi or book a car in advance.

Do you refer to the Li River Cruise or bamboo raft? The Cruise departs from Zhujiang or Mopanshan wharf. It it impossible for a one day trip as all the Cruise boat departs at early morning and only reach Yangshuo around noon time. If for bamboo raft, It seems no direct one from Guilin to Yangshuo but from Yangdi wharf in Yangshuo to Xingping. I suppose the time is too rush for one day trip too.
