I'm assuming that, when you say day trip, you mean that you won't be spending the night on the trip, that you plan to return to your brother's place each day.
With that limitation, it'll be a matter of luck. If you drive south along Turnagain Arm, you may see eagles fishing, you may see a bear on a hillside, and the only whale you might see on such a day trip would be a (white) Beluga whale - they get into the Arm sometimes. But you might see nothing. If you continue south onto the Kenai Peninsula, you may find bears and eagles along the Kenai River. They'd be there because of the salmon run, but so will a zillion fishermen and women. I suspect that wildlife photography along the river would be difficult.
If you go to Seward, you could take one of the 8-hour cruises to the Kenai Fjords NP. You'd have a good chance to see a whale, puffins, sea otters, and maybe a distant eagle. Don't take one of the short, 3-hour trips - they don't get out of the bay at Seward. Fitting a day-long cruise into an out-and-back day trip from Anchorage would make for a very long day.
Going north, I suppose you might see a bear with luck, but your luck is likely to be better in Denali NP. However, the park is around 4 hours from Anchorage (each way) - not conducive to a one day trip.
No experience with flights to the Denali glacier or with Barrow. Have you looked at how far it is from Anchorage to Barrow?
