Yes.
In severe cases of type 1 Bipolar, manias and mixed states (and even in rarer cases depressions) may be accompanied by psychotic features. Though delusions are the most common psychotic feature, hallucinations may be present.
Generally, gustatory and olfactory hallucinations (noticing non-existent tastes and smells) are most common, next comes auditory hallucinations (typically unstructured sounds are more common than voices, but voices occur as well) followed by visual hallucinations, tactile hallucinations (touch) seem to be rare.

I have personally had auditory hallucinations (always voices with identifiable "unique personalities" and almost always originating from a direction above and to the right of me, probably more than 10 different voices) and olfactory hallucinations (always a burnt electric motor "smoke & ozone" smell), no visual or other hallucinations.

Can bipolar people have schizophrenic symptoms?
Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia have some symptoms that are quite similar. The main difference between these two is that schizophrenia's characterized by hallucinations and delusions while bipolar disorder is mainly manic behavior followed by periods of depression. Typically, bipolar behaviors are fairly distinguishable from schizophrenia, but there are some rare cases of schizo-affective disorder which is a combination of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder where there is a mood component accompanied by schizophrenia. In short, bipolar symptoms can be somewhat similar to schizophrenic symptoms, but unless the individual has schizo-affective disorder the symptoms won't be identical enough to confuse the two disorders with one another.
