Newfoundland rejected confederation in 1869 because it preferred to remain a self-governing British colony due to concerns about losing control over its fisheries and potential financial burdens. Prince Edward Island rejected confederation in 1864 due to similar fears about losing control over local affairs and being burdened with the colony's debt.
PEI rejected Confederation because they were a small colony at the time and they were thriving very well on their own. If they were to join the other colonies in Confederation then they would have to pay higher taxes and were scared they would get overruled. So there was really no benefit they would get with joining Confederation except for trade which they had with Britain.
