Get an e-bike from a downtown rental and bike the entire coastal trail from downtown Anchorage to Kincaid.
Each of these organizations offers half- and full-day adventures. And many of them can have a van to pick you up at the hotel! Have fun!
You can also take a walk or run on the "coastal trail" (starting in downtown Anchorage) at any time: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/alaska/tony-knowles-coastal-path
The Alaska Native Heritage Center is also worth a visit: https://www.alaskanative.net/ It's just north of town... an easy Uber ride away!
