Buddha, Sakjamuni Buddha himself was such an example of a boddhisattva.
He was a highly-realized yogi in Himalaya before he was born in Kapilavatth. Other boddhisattvas dwell in Tusita heaven before they are born here on Earth.
Buddha himself had all the types of seeing, including seeing energy directly as it flows in Universe, and the other types of seeing, like seeing the transmigration of beings, the past lives - his and of other, seeing the beings in the whole Universe, and, travelling to the other worlds in his energy body =)
For example, teaching dharma his deceased mother (princess Yasodhara) by visiting her in heaven, or visit the God of this realm (Brahma) in the respective plane.
Its all recorded in Pali canon.
Some boddhisattvas are working here on this Earth, some in the heavens and some in the hells.
